1/2 = (2x1)/(2x2) = 2/4 → they are equivalent fractions and equal.
4-5 is greater than 2-1
MAYBE LOGARITHM!!! Anyway, this can be true if you compare like this: 2^ 1 + 2^ 1= log2=4
1 half = 1/2 3 fourths = 3/4 1/2 & 3/4 Bring the '1/2' to the equivalent fraction ' 1/2 = 2/4 Hence 2/4 & 3/4 Compare the numerators(top) numbers 2 < 3 Hence 2/4 < 3/4 => 1/2 < 3/4 => 1 half < (less than) 3 fourths
If you are trying to compare a given decimal to a given fraction, you can divide the fraction out and compare the result to the given decimal. For example, 1/2 = 1 divided by 2. = 0.5 3/4 = 3 divided by 4. = 0.75
You can compare fractions that do not have the same numerator or denominator by finding the least common denominator. For example, compare 1/6 and 1/4. Step 1: Find multiples of the denominators, 6 and 4. Step 2: Find the LCM of 6 and 4. Look at the multiples of 6 and 4. 12 is the least number that is a common multiple of both 6 and 4. Step 3: Write equivalent fractions of 1 out of 6 and 1 out of 4 using 12 as the LCD. Step 4: Compare the 2 fractions.
-4 > -4 1/2

Convert to same format and can compare: 1) To decimals: 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25 < 0.5 2) To fractions: 0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2 = 2/4 > 1/4 → Yes, 1/4 is less than 0.5
2/4 is greater than 1/4. When you compare fractions with like denominators, the greater numerator is the greater number.
1 half = 1/2 3 fourths = 3/4 1/2 & 3/4 Bring the '1/2' to the equivalent fraction ' 1/2 = 2/4 Hence 2/4 & 3/4 Compare the numerators(top) numbers 2 < 3 Hence 2/4 < 3/4 => 1/2 < 3/4 => 1 half < (less than) 3 fourths
Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4 Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 Compare. Greatest common factor is 2.

You can cross multiply if there are two fractions to compare. EXAMPLE: 1 2 If you multiply the lower right # __________ = __________ by the upper left # you will get 4 for 2 4 the left side and if you multiply the lower left by the upper right you will 4 also. compare the numbers for each side and you get "equal to"
The easiest way to compare this would be to compare common denominators. To make 1/2 comparable to 3/8, we want to make the '2' in 1/2 an 8. To make the '2' an 8, we need to multiply it by 4, but because we multiply the bottom, we must also multiply the top. 1 x 4 = 4 2 x 4 = 8 The comparable fraction in 4/8, which is still the same as 1/2. Comparing 4/8 to 3/8 is much easier, as it's quite obvious that 4/8 is larger. So, 1/2 (4/8) is larger.
The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.
