You can compare the denominators.
If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.

How do the numerator and denominator of a fraction compare with the dividend and divisor of a division expression?
Numerator <-> dividendDenominator <-> divisor.
How do you compare fractions that are not similar?
To compare fractions which are not similar, the fractions must be made similar by putting them over a common denominator. There are two similar ways of doing this:Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. Multiply the first numerator by whatever number you multiply the first denominator by to get that multiple, and do the same with the second numerator and denominator. You can then compare the numerators.Multiply the first numerator by the second denominator, and the second numerator by the first denominator, and put both numerators over the product of the two denominators. You can then compare the numerators.
How do you determine if a fraction is in simplest form?
if the fraction's numerator and denominator cant be divided by any number remembber both numerator and denominator must be divided by the same number
Has a numerator and denominator?
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
What does percent mean when used to make a comparison?
One way to compare two fractions is to convert both to a common denominator. Then the only difference is in the numerator. Comparison of the numerator is then sufficient to compare the fractions. A percentage is equivalent to converting the fractions to a denominator of 100.
When comparing fractions with the same you only have to compare the?
Numerator, Denominator or Denominator, Numerator.
What do fractions need to have to compare them?
The same numerator or the same denominator.
How do the numerator and denominator of a fraction compare with the dividend and divisor of a division expression?

Why cant you add the numerator and denominator?
You can but it makes no mathematical sense.
Could you cross multiply numerator by denominator to compare fractions?
yes
How do you compare fractions that have the same denominator?
The smaller fraction has the smaller numerator.
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 does a numerator compare with the denominator in each of the fraction is it less or equal.?
numerator=top number of a fractiondenominator=bottom number of a fraction
How do you determine if a fraction is in simplest form?
if the fraction's numerator and denominator cant be divided by any number remembber both numerator and denominator must be divided by the same number
Has a numerator and denominator?
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
What do you divide first numerator or denominator?
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
