You can use the same notation and ordering for fractions as you do integers. The difficulty with fractions is that in most cases you need to find eqivalent denominators to see how they rank. Ie. If I said order for smallest to largest 2/3, 1/6, 72/96 and 24/48. It would be difficult without finding some similar base (is 2/3>72/96?). Instead if you conver them into a common base... 8/12, 2/12, 9/12, 6/12. Now you can easily order and/or compare the fractions.

How do you order fractions with unlike denominators?
You can convert them to equivalent fractions with like denominators, then simply compare the numerators.You might also convert each fraction to a decimal (divide the numerator by the denominator); then you can also compare them.
How do you compare and order fractions?
As fractions are numbers you would use the same methods as any other comparison or ordering of numbers. Largest to smallest or smallest to largest are the most likely ways
When do you need to use two number lines to compare two fractions?
When the numbers are greater than 1
How many jobs use fractions?
There are 137 jobs that use fractions.
How do you multiply fractions with variables?
In order to multiply fractions with variables, factor all numerators and denominators completely. Use the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions, cancel any common factors, and leave your final answer in factored form.
