Math fractions Q3W3 station 3 part1

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

The numerator is the top number of a fraction and represents how many parts we have.

The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction and represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

When fractions have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is greater.

To compare fractions with different denominators, convert them to have a common denominator or convert them to decimal form.

1/2 is greater than 1/3.

1/4 is less than 1/2.

2/3 is greater than 1/2.

4/5 is greater than 4/6.

Two fractions are equal if they represent the same part of a whole, even if they look different.
