Practice Comparing Fractions in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Determining which of two fractions is greater, less, or equal using common denominators, benchmarks, or cross-multiplication.
To compare \frac{3}{4} and \frac{5}{6}, rewrite them with the same denominator so the numerators can be compared directly.
Example 1
easyCompare \frac{4}{7} and \frac{3}{7} using the <, >, or = symbol.
Example 2
mediumCompare \frac{5}{9} and \frac{7}{12} using a common denominator.
Example 3
easyCompare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{3}{4} using cross-multiplication.
Example 4
hardWithout finding a common denominator, use benchmark reasoning to compare \frac{11}{20} and \frac{8}{15}.
