Explore Perform These Operations. 3 + 6 3 - 6 3 X 6 3 ÷ 6

The document provides examples and explanations for comparing and ordering fractions. It discusses techniques like using pictures to compare fractions with the same denominator, comparing fractions with the same numerator, and using the comparison property for rational numbers. It also introduces the least common denominator (LCD) method for ordering fractions, which involves finding the LCD and writing equivalent fractions to compare numerators.

FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS
To convert a fraction to a
decimal, divide the numerator
by the denominator.
Write each fraction as a decimal. Round to
the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

There are techniques that you can use
when comparing and ordering fractions.
1) When the denominators are the same.
𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔
In , , , and , the fraction with the bigger
𝟕 𝟕 𝟕 𝟕
𝟔 𝟓
numerator has a greater value. Thus, > >
𝟕 𝟕

2) When the numerators are the same.
𝟓 𝟓 𝟓 𝟓
In , , , and the fraction with the

𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔
smaller denominator has a greater value.

Thus, > > > .

3) When neither the numerators nor the
denominators are the same, use the
comparison property for rational numbers.

One way to compare or
order fractions is to
express them with the
same denominator.
Any common denominator
could be used. But the
Least Common
Denominator (LCD)
makes the computation
easier.
The Least Common
Denominator is the
Least Common Multiple
of the denominators.
LCD = LCM
