3.3H Comparing Fractions

What is the relationship between @@\frac{2}{4}@@ and @@\frac{2}{6}@@?

• @@\frac{2}{4} < \frac{2}{6}@@ because @@\frac{2}{4}@@ represents a smaller part of the whole.

• @@\frac{2}{4} = \frac{2}{6}@@ because both fractions are equal.

• @@\frac{2}{4} > \frac{2}{6}@@ because @@\frac{2}{4}@@ represents a larger part of the whole.

• @@\frac{2}{4} \leq \frac{2}{6}@@ because @@\frac{2}{4}@@ is less than or equal to @@\frac{2}{6}@@.

What is a proper fraction?

• A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, like @@\frac{1}{2}@@.

• A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, like @@\frac{3}{2}@@.

• A fraction that equals one, like @@\frac{2}{2}@@.

• A fraction that has a numerator of zero, like @@\frac{0}{5}@@.

How do you compare fractions on a number line?

• You can see which fraction is further to the right on the number line to determine which is greater.

• You can add the fractions together and compare the sums.

• You can multiply the fractions and compare the products.

• You can find a common denominator and compare the numerators.

How can you visualize fractions?

• Fractions can be visualized using shapes like circles or grids divided into equal parts.

• Fractions can only be represented as decimals.

• Fractions are best visualized using numbers alone.

• Fractions cannot be visualized and are only theoretical.

How do you find equivalent fractions?

• By adding the numerator and denominator together

• By multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number

• By subtracting the numerator from the denominator

• By finding the least common multiple of the numerator and denominator

What does the denominator in a fraction represent?

• The numerator of the fraction.

• The total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

• The value of the fraction when simplified.

• The difference between the numerator and the denominator.

What does the numerator in a fraction represent?

• The total number of parts in a whole.

• The number of parts we have.

• The size of each part in the fraction.

• The relationship between the numerator and denominator.

What does it mean if two fractions are equal?

• They represent the same part of a whole, like @@\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}@@.

• They have the same numerator but different denominators.

• They can be added together to form a whole number.

• They are both greater than one.

What is an equivalent fraction?

• Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value, like @@\frac{1}{2}@@ and @@\frac{2}{4}@@.

• Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same numerator and denominator.

• Equivalent fractions are fractions that add up to one.

• Equivalent fractions are fractions that are always greater than one.

How do you compare two fractions with the same denominator?

• You compare the numerators. The fraction with the larger numerator is greater.

• You compare the denominators. The fraction with the larger denominator is greater.

• You add the fractions together and compare the sums.

• You multiply the fractions and compare the products.
