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?
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.
What is bigger 8 over 40 or 6 over 10?
Comparing fractions is easiest with a common denominator. Then only the numerators need to be compared. Take 8/40, and divide numerator and denominator by 4 : 8/40 = 2/10. Now compare 2/10 and 6/10 is the same as comparing 2 and 6, so 6/10 is bigger.
How do you compare fractions with same denominator but different numerators?
Oh, dude, comparing fractions with the same denominator but different numerators is like comparing apples to slightly different apples. You just look at the numerators and see which one is bigger. It's not rocket science, just basic math. So, like, if you have 3/5 and 4/5, you can tell that 4/5 is greater because 4 is bigger than 3. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
How do you order fractions with unlike denominators?
You can convert them to equivalent fractions with like denominators, then simply compare the numerators.You might also convert each fraction to a decimal (divide the numerator by the denominator); then you can also compare them.
