There are many ways to compare fractions. One way

is illustrating the fractions before comparing.

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
symbols to compare:
Greater than (>)
Lesser than (<)
Equal (=)

Try These: Illustrate the fractions then 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.

Therefore,

is lesser than

Or

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.
