Equivalent fractions, fractions greater than 1, fractions with unlike numerators,fractions with unlike denominators, and fractions on a number line.What are these topics? Don't worry. I'll guide you through these topics

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions are one of the easiest things in fractions. Basically it’s just
fractions that are equal to one another. To get them you need to multiply any
fraction by another fraction that has the same numerator as the denominator like
this : 1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4 ;1/2 = 2/4. Practice more and you’ll have this topic down!

Fractions Greater than one

This topic is somewhat hard but it is easy to learn. A fraction is greater than one if
the numerator is greater than the denominator.For example 3/2,9/5, 12/4, and 6/2
are all examples of fractions greater than one. A fraction is not greater than one if
the numerator is less than the denominator. A fraction is equal to one if the
numerator is equal to the denominator

12/4 > 1, 6/2 > 1, 9/5 > 1,3/2 > 1

Fractions with unlike numerators

This topic is sort of easy since you have to look at the numerator not the
denominator. Since they have the same denominator you have to look at the
numerator. The greater numerator is the greater fraction. For example you have the
following question: Which fraction is greater? 1/8 or 7/8? In this case you have to
look at the numerator since the denominators are the same. Since 1< 7, 1/8 < 7/8

You should know about a number line but you might not know how to put fractions on it.
This is a fraction number line: It starts with 0 and ends with 1. It shows all the fractions
up to 1 that fit in it. The pieces are equal like a normal number line. Fun fact: if there’s
one as the numerator it’s called a unit fraction

Fractions with an unlike denominator

This is a somewhat hard topic because you need to compare the denominator not
the numerator. When the numerators are equal but the denominators are not, the
smaller denominator is the greater fraction. For example ¼ > ⅙.
