Part 1: Comparing Fractions

Use =, <, or > to compare each pair of fractions.

---

1. $ \frac{5}{8} \quad \square \quad \frac{3}{8} $

- Same denominator (8), so compare numerators.
- 5 > 3 → $ \frac{5}{8} > \frac{3}{8} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{5}{8} > \frac{3}{8} $

---

2. $ \frac{3}{5} \quad \square \quad \frac{1}{5} $

- Same denominator (5), compare numerators.
- 3 > 1 → $ \frac{3}{5} > \frac{1}{5} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{5} > \frac{1}{5} $

---

3. $ \frac{4}{9} \quad \square \quad \frac{7}{9} $

- Same denominator (9), compare numerators.
- 4 < 7 → $ \frac{4}{9} < \frac{7}{9} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{4}{9} < \frac{7}{9} $

---

4. $ \frac{1}{3} \quad \square \quad \frac{2}{6} $

- Simplify $ \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} $
- So $ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6} $

---

5. $ \frac{2}{4} \quad \square \quad \frac{3}{6} $

- Simplify both:
- $ \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} $
- $ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} $
- So they are equal.

✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{6} $

---

6. $ \frac{7}{9} \quad \square \quad \frac{2}{9} $

- Same denominator (9), compare numerators.
- 7 > 2 → $ \frac{7}{9} > \frac{2}{9} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{7}{9} > \frac{2}{9} $

---

Part 2: Adding Fractions

Add the following.

---

1. $ \frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} $

- Same denominator: add numerators.
- $ \frac{2+1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{4} $

---

2. $ \frac{4}{7} + \frac{2}{7} $

- Same denominator: $ \frac{4+2}{7} = \frac{6}{7} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{6}{7} $

---

3. $ \frac{2}{9} + \frac{6}{9} $

- Same denominator: $ \frac{2+6}{9} = \frac{8}{9} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{8}{9} $

---

4. $ \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} $

- Same denominator: $ \frac{3+1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{4}{5} $

---

5. $ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{4}{6} $

- Same denominator: $ \frac{1+4}{6} = \frac{5}{6} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{5}{6} $

---

6. $ \frac{4}{9} + \frac{3}{9} $

- Same denominator: $ \frac{4+3}{9} = \frac{7}{9} $

✔ Answer: $ \frac{7}{9} $

---

✔ Final Answers:

#### Comparing:
1. $ \frac{5}{8} > \frac{3}{8} $
