Comparing Fractions with Different Denominators

Twenty one over twenty eight is the exact same thing as nine twelfths.

• Yes.

• No.

• Ugh.

• Pass.

I know that 1/4 is less than 1/3 because________________.

• Bigger denominator, bigger pieces.

• Smaller denominator, smaller pieces.

• Bigger denominator, smaller pieces.

• the numerators are the same.

2/4 is equivalent to 1/2.

• True

• False

The greater the denominator, the_______________.

• Greater the fraction.

• The bigger the pieces.

• The smaller the pieces.

• more shaded pieces.

To find the larger fraction when the numerators are the same, ______________________.

• Choose the smaller denominator because the pieces are bigger.

• Choose the larger denominator because the pieces are bigger.

• Choose the larger numerator

• Choose the smaller numerator.
