UIL Number Sense Practice #2

Comparing fractions involves determining which fraction is larger, smaller, or if they are equal. This is often done by finding a common denominator or converting them to decimals.

$$\frac{1}{12} < \frac{1}{2}$$ because 1/12 is smaller than 1/2.

The digit in the tens place is 5.

10 times 3 is 30.

33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30.

The place value of 6 in 1,659 is 60.

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

You can compare numbers by looking at their value; the number with the higher value is greater.

$$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{2}{3}$$ because 3/4 is larger than 2/3.

Rounding numbers involves adjusting the number to the nearest specified place value, such as the nearest ten or hundred.
