What do you do when comparing fractions and the denominator and the numerator are different?
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
How do you compare fractions in terms of similar and dissimilar fractions?
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
How do you compare fractions?
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
How would you know when a fraction is greater than another fraction?
You could convert them to like fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators or you could convert them to decimals and compare them.
How do you put different fractions in increasing order?
Option 1: Find a common denominator for the two fractions. It need not be the least common denominator; for example, for two fractions, if you just multiply the two denominators, you get a common denominator. Convert all the fractions to the common denominator. Then you can compare. Option 2: Convert each fraction to decimal, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Then you can compare the decimals.
How do you compare fractions with the same denominator but different numerators?
The fractions can be ordered according to the order of their numerators.
What do you do when comparing fractions and the denominator and the numerator are different?
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
How do you compare 3 or more fractions?
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
How do you compare fractions in terms of similar and dissimilar fractions?
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
What is a wy to compare two fractions when the denominator are the same?
They are in the same order, by size, as their numerators.
Which of the fractions is larger five sixths or seven twelfths?
5/6 or 7/12 Bring to a common denominator of '12' in this case. 10/12 & 7/12 Compare the numerators 10> 7 Hence 10/12 > 7/12 It follows 5/6 > 7/12
Why is it easier to compare percent than fractions?
Because percentages are essentially the numerators of fractions with the same denominator, 100.
How to compare fractions?
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
Is 8 12elvs smaller than 5 6th?
To compare to fractions, please convert them to a common denominator. (1) Find the common denominator, (2) Convert both fractions to this common denominator, (3) Compare the numerators.
How do you compare similar and dissimilar fraction?
Two ways: Convert them to decimals and compare or convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators.
How do you compare and order fractions if numerators and denominator are different?
You have to find a common denominator for them. 2/8 = 4/16 2/8 = 2x2/8x2 = 4/16 = 4/16
Is it always necessary to find the least common denominator to compare the sizes of fractions?
When comparing fractions you must find a common denominator; by finding the least common denominator it will keep the numbers (numerators and denominator) smaller .
