Contd to the post Mental Maths (Comparison of Fractions) - Part 1

Model 5 :
For a fraction Less than 1 : If the difference between the numerator and the denominator is same then the fraction with the larger values of numerator and denominator will be the largest. Have a look at the following example. Which of the following fractions is the largest? (31/37), (13/19) (23/29), (17/23), (35/41),

The difference between the numerator and the denominator of each fraction is 6.... So the fraction with the larger numerals i.e., 35/41 is the greatest and the fraction with smaller numerals i.e., 13/19 is the smallest. For a fraction Greater than 1 : If the difference between the numerator and denominator is same, then the fraction with the smaller values will be the largest. Which of the following fraction is largest ? (31/27), (43/39), (57/53), (27/23), (29/25) As the difference between the numerator and the denominator is same, the fraction with the smaller values i.e., 27/23 is the largest.

Model 6 :
Which of the following fractions is the largest? (15/17 ), (23/29), (31/34), (11/15) Comparing fractions 1 5/1 7 and 23/29

The numerator of the fraction has increased from 1 5 to 23. i.e. 8/1 5 i.e. a little more than 50%. The denominator of the fraction has increased from 1 7 to 29. i.e., 1 2/1 7 i.e., well ov er 50%. As the percentage increase in the numerator is less than the percentage increase in the denominator, the fraction

1 5/1 7 > 23/29. Now compare 1 5/1 7 with 31 /34 As the change in the numerator is more than double (1 5 to 31 ), and the change in the denominator is ex actly double, the fraction 1 5/1 7 < 31 /34. Now compare 1 1 /1 5 and 31 /34 The numerator has almost tripled from 1 1 to 31 whereas the denominator has just ov er doubled from 1 5 to 34. Since the increase in numerator is greater than the increase in the denominator, 31 /34 > 1 1 /1 5. So, 31 /34 is the largest fraction :) Thats all for now friends....
