  1. Comparing Unit Fraction

  2. Unit fractions Unit fractions are fractions having 1 as its numerator. For example, compare 1/7 and 1/5. One can conclude that 1/5 > 1/7 by observing the diagram. So, in unit fraction the larger the denominator the smaller will be the fraction. Hence, we conclude that if the numerators are the same in two fractions, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater of the two

  3. Example 1: Compare 1/3 and 1/7 Solution: We know that larger the denominator, the smaller will be the fraction. Here, 7is greater than 3. 1 1 > 7 3 Ans: 1/3 is greater than 1/7 Example 2: Which is lesser? 1/7 or 1/12? Solution: We know that larger the denominator, the smaller will be the fraction. Here, 12 is greater than 7. 1 1 < 7 12 Ans: 1/12 is lesser than 1/7

  4. Try These • Compare 1/8 and 1/5 • Which is greater? 1/15 or 1/10?
