How do you compare fractions with the same denominator?

Back

To compare fractions with the same denominator, look at the numerators. The fraction with the larger numerator is greater.

Front

How do you compare fractions with different denominators?

Back

To compare fractions with different denominators, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator, then compare the numerators.

Front

What is an equivalent fraction?

Back

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4.

Front

How do you order fractions from least to greatest?

Back

To order fractions from least to greatest, convert them to a common denominator or compare their decimal values.

Front

Front

What is the process to add fractions?

Back

To add fractions, ensure they have a common denominator, then add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Front

What is the process to subtract fractions?

Back

To subtract fractions, ensure they have a common denominator, then subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
