If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction.
For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.

When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the lower demomenator is the bigger fraction.
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
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.
Yes, it is possible for two fractions greater than 1 with different numerators and denominators to be renamed as the same mixed number. This can happen when the fractions are equivalent, meaning they represent the same value. To determine if two fractions can be renamed as the same mixed number, you need to simplify them to their simplest form and then compare them to see if they are equal.
you subtract the numerators, and leeave the denomonators alone
