Make them into decimals. Make them into decimals.
You might think that 1/4 is greater than 1/3 because 4 is greater than 3. If you know that 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12, it makes them easier to compare.
Since 4 is greater than 3, you might think that 1/4 is greater than 1/3. But if you know that 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12, it makes them easier to compare.
One way to compare two fractions is to convert both to a common denominator. Then the only difference is in the numerator. Comparison of the numerator is then sufficient to compare the fractions. A percentage is equivalent to converting the fractions to a denominator of 100.
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
By rewriting the fractional part of 3.24 as 240/1000 will make it easier compare it to 275/1000.

Fractions make you life easier because if you at the grociry store if it's 75% of a item you will need to know that. and fraction you need to know in a lot of jobs. Madison M.

The same way as proper fractions. Make sure the denominators are the same. If they're not, convert them to equivalent fractions with similar denominators. Then you can see which numerator is greater.
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
To compare if they are the same (ie equivalent fractions), make them both into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and compare the numerators. To find equivalent fractions multiply (or divide) both the numerator and denominator by the same number. → 1/2 = (1×2)/(2×2) = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 The two fractions now have the same denominator (4), so compare their numerators: ½ now has a numerator of 2 whereas ¾ (still ) has a numerator of 3. 2 does not equal 3 so ½ does not equal ¾; ie ½ and ¾ are not equivalent fractions.
To compare 2 fractions you must make the denominator the same. We can do this in this problem by multiplying 7 and 8 by 10. This gives us 70 80ths. Now we can compare the 2 fractions and see that 72 80ths is bigger.
Because it would not make things easier. particularly if you were building or manufacturing something. Fractions are required. Not everything concludes with a whole integer.
