Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Comparing Fractions Worksheets
Let’s solve each part step by step. We’re comparing fractions using number lines (or just logic if we can’t see the line). The goal is to put <, >, or = between each pair.

---

Part 1: Fractions from 0 to 1

a) 2/6 vs 4/6
→ Same denominator. Compare numerators: 2 < 4 → 2/6 < 4/6

b) 3/4 vs 3/8
→ Same numerator. Smaller denominator means bigger fraction. 4 < 8 → so 3/4 > 3/8 → 3/4 > 3/8

c) 1/3 vs 1/5
→ Same numerator. 3 < 5 → so 1/3 > 1/5 → 1/3 > 1/5

d) 4/8 vs 4/8
→ Exactly the same → 4/8 = 4/8

---

Part 2: Fractions around 1 and beyond

a) 10/9 vs 7/9
→ Same denominator. 10 > 7 → 10/9 > 7/9

b) 8/9 vs 11/9
→ Same denominator. 8 < 11 → 8/9 < 11/9

c) 6/9 vs 12/9
→ Same denominator. 6 < 12 → 6/9 < 12/9

d) 13/9 vs 12/9
→ Same denominator. 13 > 12 → 13/9 > 12/9

---

Part 3: Mixed numbers

a) 3 1/4 vs 3 3/4
→ Whole parts are equal (both 3). Compare fractions: 1/4 < 3/4 → 3 1/4 < 3 3/4

b) 4 2/3 vs 4 1/3
→ Whole parts equal (4). Compare fractions: 2/3 > 1/3 → 4 2/3 > 4 1/3

c) 4 1/2 vs 4 1/2
→ Exactly the same → 4 1/2 = 4 1/2

---

Final Answer:

1a) <
1b) >
1c) >
1d) =

2a) >
2b) <
2c) <
2d) >

3a) <
3b) >
3c) =
