Describe two ways to determine the larger of two fractions.
A. Compare fractions by writing fractions as mixed numbers
B. Compare fractions with the same denominator by comparing the numerators and compare fractions with different denominators by writing fractions as equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
C. Compare fractions by writing fractions as equivalent decimals.
D. To compare fractions first write the reciprocal of the fractions then write the fractions as equivalent decimals.
I have to choose the 2 best answers. I went with b & c. I wanted someone to check to make sure I am correct. Thank you.
Yes, b and c.
Thank you
You are welcome.
I agree with b and c

You have made the correct choices.
Option B and C are the best ways to determine the larger of two fractions.
B. Comparing fractions with the same denominator by comparing the numerators: To do this, you need to have the fractions with the same denominator. Once you've made sure the denominators are the same, you can compare the numerators. The fraction with the larger numerator will be the larger fraction.
C. Comparing fractions by writing them as equivalent decimals: Converting fractions to decimals is another effective way to compare them. To do this, divide the numerator of each fraction by its denominator. The larger resulting decimal indicates the larger fraction.
So, by choosing options B and C, you have selected the two best ways to determine the larger of two fractions. Good job!
