Answers
Answer:
when rational number have the same denominator
let us takr two rational numbers a/b and c/b.
a/b is greater then c/b if a is greater then c
To compare fractions the first thing we have to remember is that the fractions that we are comparing should have the same denominator
After making the denominators same check which fraction has the highest or lowest numerator
For eg:
when we are comparing 1/2, 3/4, 5/8 and 1/6
we have to make the denominators same
Here, we have to change the denominator into 24 which is the LCM of
2, 4, 8 and 6
1/2 = 1/2 * 12/12 = 12/24
3/4 = 3/4 * 6/6 = 18/24
5/8 = 5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24
1/6 = 1/6 * 4/4 = 4/24
Among 12/24, 18/24, 15/24, 4/24
18/24 > 15/24 > 12/24 > 4/24
3/4 > 5/8 > 1/2 > 1/6
