  1. omparing ractions Using Multiplication

  2. Comparing Fractions • Students need to be able to determine if two fractions are equal or if one fraction is greater or less than the other. • Students will learn to correctly place >, <, or= between two fractions > is the greater than symbol < is the less than symbol

  3. Comparing Fractions and finding which unlike fraction (different denominators) is larger or smaller. • 1. Write the two fractions. • 2. Multiply the first numerator with the second denominator. • 3. Write the product above the first fraction. • 4. Multiply the second numerator with the first denominator. • 5. Write the product above the second fraction. • 6. Decide which product is greater and put the greater than or less than symbol between the two fractions.

  4. Which sign belongs between the two fractions? 15 28 < < = The greater product is written above the greater fraction.

  5. Which sign belongs between the two fractions? 28 54 < < = greater than
