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.
