How can you explain why  $\frac{5}{8}$  is greater than  $\frac{2}{8}$  ?

• If  $\frac{5}{8}$  and  $\frac{2}{8}$  are on the same number line,  $\frac{2}{8}$  is closer to 1 than  $\frac{5}{8}$  .

• When comparing fractions, the fraction with the greatest numerator is ALWAYS greater.

• When the same whole is divided into 8 equal parts, five parts are larger than 2 parts.

Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Williams were running in a race. Mrs. McDonald stopped for water after running  $\frac{3}{4}$  of the race. Mrs. Williams stopped for water after running  $\frac{5}{12}$  of the race. Who ran farther before taking a water break?

• Mrs. Williams ran farther because the numerator of her fraction of the race is more than the numerator of Mrs. McDonald's  fraction of the race.

• Mrs. McDonald ran farther because she ran more than half of the race before taking a break, and Mrs. Williams ran less than half of the race before taking a break. 

• Mrs. Williams ran farther because she was closer to finishing the race when she took a break than Mrs. McDonald was when she  took a break.

• Mrs. McDonald ran farther because fourths are larger than twelfths.
