HAPPY LEARNING

There are many ways to compare fractions. One way

is illustrating the fractions before comparing. Consider
the problem below:

Andy has pizza while Rene has 3/5 pizza. Who has the bigger size of
pizza?
Seemingly 3/5 is bigger than . Therefore, Rene
has the bigger size of pizza. We can simply write:
1
2

3
5

We use the following

symbols to compare:
Greater than (>)
Lesser than (<)
Equal (=)

Try These: Illustrate the fractions then compare.

We can also compare fractions by changing the dissimilar

fractions to similar before comparing the fractions.

Answer this problem: Mang Canor has hectare of rice filed while Mang Isko has 2/3
hectare.
Who has the biggest size of rice field?

and 2/3 are dissimilar fractions. We can change them to similar using 6 as their

LCD.

to similar fractions before comparing. Use the LCD on the wheel.
