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
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.
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.

Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4 Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 Compare. Greatest common factor is 2.

"Half" is the same as 1/2. To calculate how many eighths are in a half, compare 1/2 to 1/8. The denominator of 1/2, 2, will go into the denominator of 1/8, 8, 4 times (8 divided by 2). So there are 4 eighths in a half.
You need to convert them all to fractions with the same denominator. For example 1 and 1/3 compared to 2 and 1/4 One say is to write 1 1/3 and 4/3 and 1 1/4 and 9/4. Now the least common denominator is 12 so 4/3=14/12 and 9/4=27/12. we can easily compare 14/12 and 27/12.
To compare if they are the same (ie equivalent fractions), make them both into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and compare the numerators. To find equivalent fractions multiply (or divide) both the numerator and denominator by the same number. → 1/2 = (1×2)/(2×2) = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 The two fractions now have the same denominator (4), so compare their numerators: ½ now has a numerator of 2 whereas ¾ (still ) has a numerator of 3. 2 does not equal 3 so ½ does not equal ¾; ie ½ and ¾ are not equivalent fractions.
1. Divide 2. Multiply 3. Subtract 4.Compare 5. Bring Down
It's easier to compare 1/3 and 1/4 when you convert them to the equivalent fractions 4/12 and 3/12
If we see 1/4 and compare it to 2/9, we can rewrite both fractions with the same common denominator and compare them directly. The denominators 4 and 9 don't have common factors, so we just multiply them together to get 36, and then use that for a common denominator. If we write 1/4 in 36ths, we have 9/36ths. If we write 2/9 in 36ths, we have 8/36ths. We see that 9/36 is larger than 8/36, so we know that 1/4 is greater than 2/9 is.
give us a example of your problem.Another reply: To compare two fractions, convert them to the same denominator. For example, which is greater, 1/2 or 3/4? Since 1/2 is equal to 2/4, 3/4 is greater.
