How do we know that fractions are equal? Fundamental Principle of Fraction If both numerator and denominator are multiplied or divide by the same number
Comparing Similar Fraction A fraction is greater than (>) the other if it has a greater numerator
Comparing Dissimilar Fractions • Identify the LCM of the denominators of the fractions • Divide the LCM with the denominator of each fraction and multiply it with the numerator
