                   Take 9–10  strips of the same  size and
                   divide them equally into different numbers                                 1
                   of parts as shown alongside.
                                                                                 1                        1
                   Observe the  fraction  strips.  What  do  you
                   observe?                                                      2                       2

                   Now colour one part of each strip.                         1               1               1
                   Each part you  coloured shows the  unit                   3               3               3
                                       1 1 1
                   fraction such as  ,  ,  , etc.                           1           1           1           1
                                       2 5 8

                   Now, look at the fraction strips and answer             4           4           4           4

                CompAring And ordering like FrACTionS

                To compare like fractions, we observe their numerators. The fraction with the greater

                numerator is the greater fraction.
                                            5       2
                example 1. Compare            and
                                            7        7
                Solution. The fractions are like fractions.

                So, comparing the numerators 5 and 2, we have 5 > 2.
                        5    2                                                                     5                   2
