To solve this worksheet, you need to
compare each fraction with its decimal counterpart and write the correct comparison symbol:
> (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).
---
✔ Strategy:
Convert the
fraction to a decimal (by dividing numerator by denominator) and then compare it to the given decimal.
Let’s go problem by problem:
---
1) 7/8 □ 0.825
- 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875
- 0.875 > 0.825 →
>
2) 4/6 □ 0.667
- 4 ÷ 6 ≈ 0.666... (repeating)
- 0.666... is approximately 0.667 (rounded), so they are
equal for practical purposes →
=
> *Note: Technically 4/6 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667, which rounds to 0.667 — so we accept = here.*
3) 5/6 □ 0.708
- 5 ÷ 6 ≈ 0.833...
- 0.833 > 0.708 →
>
4) 2/3 □ 0.667
- 2 ÷ 3 ≈ 0.666... → rounds to 0.667 →
=
5) 2/4 □ 0.4
- 2 ÷ 4 = 0.5
- 0.5 > 0.4 →
>
6) 1/2 □ 0.5
- 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 →
=
7) 1/2 □ 0.6
- 0.5 < 0.6 →
<
8) 4/6 □ 0.717
- 4 ÷ 6 ≈ 0.666... < 0.717 →
<
9) 4/5 □ 0.65
- 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8 > 0.65 →
>
10) 2/3 □ 0.667
- Again, 2/3 ≈ 0.666... ≈ 0.667 →
=
---
11) 1/2 □ 0.625
- 0.5 < 0.625 →
<
12) 1/8 □ 0.1
- 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125 > 0.1 →
>
13) 5/8 □ 0.625
- 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625 →
=
14) 4/5 □ 0.95
- 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8 < 0.95 →
<
15) 3/4 □ 0.875
- 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 < 0.875 →
<
16) 3/4 □ 0.625
- 0.75 > 0.625 →
>
17) 2/5 □ 0.4
- 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 →
=
18) 6/8 □ 0.825
- 6 ÷ 8 = 0.75 < 0.825 →
<
19) 2/3 □ 0.592
- 2/3 ≈ 0.666... > 0.592 →
>
20) 2/3 □ 0.692
- 0.666... < 0.692 →
<
