MathGrade 4 Mrs. Ennis Comparing Fractions Part 2 Lesson Twenty-One
7,777 + 333 = 8,080 – H = 7676 6 x Z – 4 = 38 40 x 8 = 9 x ___ = 54
6. At 3:00 the hands of the clock are perpendicular. Give another time when the hands are perpendicular. 7. Number of vertices o a cube?es in $1.65? Round to the nearest thousand: 46,580
9. Joey got a new puppy that weighed 4 pounds. This was half the weight of his bowling ball. How much does his bowling ball weigh? 10. If Sam bought a turkey sandwich for $4.95 and a drink for $0.95, how much change would he get from a $10 bill?
Comparing Fractions • Make sure the denominators are the same. • Compare the numerators. • If the denominators are not the same, then rewrite the fractions using a common denominator. • The new fractions should be equivalent to the original fractions.
Writing Equivalent Fractions • One way to find a common denominator is to multiply the two original denominators. 5 3 > 6 x 4 = 24 6 4 20 18 x 4 20 > 18 x 6 24 24
Writing Equivalent Fractions • One way to find a common denominator is to multiply the two original denominators. 3 6 < 5 x 9 = 45 5 9 27 30 x 9 27 < 30 x 5 45 45
Writing Equivalent Fractions • One way to find a common denominator is to multiply the two original denominators. 4 5 > 5 x 7 = 35 5 7 28 25 x 7 28 > 25 x 5 35 35
Another way to compare fractions is to find the least common multiple(LCM) of both denominators. • Use the LCM as the new denominator in the equivalent fractions. 7 5 < 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 9 12 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 20 < 21 x 3 x 4 20 21 36 36
Least Common Multiple (LCM) 6 4 > 5 8 32 > 30 x 5 x 8 32 30 40 40 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 LCM = 40 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
Least Common Multiple (LCM) 4 2 < 6 10 10 < 12 x 3 x 5 10 12 30 30 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 LCM = 30 10, 20, 30,
Ordering Fractions • Find the LCM of the denominators. • Use the LCM to write equivalent fractions. • Put the fractions in order using the numerators.
