HAPPY LEARNING
 There are many ways to compare fractions. One way
is illustrating the fractions before comparing. Consider
the problem below:
Andy has pizza while Rene has 3/5 pizza. Who has the
bigger size of pizza?
Seemingly 3/5 is bigger than .
Therefore, Rene has the bigger size
of pizza. We can simply write:
We use the following
1 3 symbols to compare:
2 5 Greater than (>)
Lesser than (<)
Equal (=)

Try These: Illustrate the fractions then compare. Use ,

or to compare.

We can also compare fractions by changing the dissimilar

fractions to similar before comparing the fractions.

Answer this problem: Mang Canor has hectare of rice filed while Mang
Isko has 2/3 hectare.
Who has the biggest size of rice field?
and 2/3 are dissimilar fractions. We can change them to similar
using 6 as their LCD.

1 3 2 4
2 = 6 3 = 6

1 2 1 2
Therefore, 2 is lesser than 3 . Or 2 3 .
 Mang Isko then has bigger size of rice field than Mang Canor.
Try These: Compare the fractions in the window pane. Write the
dissimilar fractions to similar fractions before comparing. Use the LCD
on the wheel.

compare the two fractions. Fraction is either
close to zero (0), close to one half () or
close to one (1).

 We can also change the fraction to decimal
before comparing the fractions.

Study the example:

2 is equal to 0.50 while 4 is equal to 0.75 therefore

is greater than . Try These: Change the fractions

to decimal before comparing.
