comParing and ordering Fractions

comparing Like Fractions

To compare like fractions, we observe their numerators. The fraction with the greater
numerator is greater.
4 3
Example 1: Compare and .
5 5
4 3
Solution: and are like fractions. 4 3
5 5 5 5
We can see that the shaded part in the first Be Aware
figure is bigger than that of the second figure. When the denominators

4 3 are the same, we compare
So, > [Since, 4 > 3] only the numerators.

2 5 2
Example 2: Compare and .
7 7 7 5
Solution: Comparing the numerators 2 and 5, we have 2 < 5. 7

2 5
Thus, <
