Comparing and Ordering Fractions

Compare:
When your comparing fractions, to tell which one is bigger you can find a denominator that they both have like if it's 3/4 and 7/10 you can multiply 3/4 by 10 (multiply the numerator and the denominator). You will get 30/40, now you must multiply 7/10 by 4 then you'll get 21/40. Now you can compare it
                                                                           
                            30/40  21/40

30/40 is bigger you now know 3/4 is bigger than 7/10

Ordering:  3/6, 4/12, 1/3, 3/5, 8/10
If your ordering fractions you can make them all have the same denominator.
3/6 X10     4/12 X 5     1/3 X 20     3/5 X 12     8/10 X 6
30/60         20/60          20/60          36/60          48/60
order now
20/60, 20/60, 30/60, 36/60, 48/60
be sure to change it back
1/3, 4/12, 3/6, 3/5, 8/10
