• A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

• A fraction is a type of decimal number.

• A fraction is a mathematical operation involving addition.

How do you compare two fractions?

• By finding a common denominator or using a number line to see which fraction is further to the right.

• By converting them to decimals and comparing the decimal values.

• By multiplying the numerators and denominators of both fractions.

• By adding the fractions together and comparing the sums.

If two fractions have the same numerator, which one is greater?
