 This material
was designed especially to help you develop your skill in Comparing
As you work on the exercises, you will be able to learn how to
compare fractions, thereby improving your speed and accuracy in
dealing with this topic.
MATH-o is here to help you. Hi! I’m MATH-o. I will guide you on this
journey. Every time you see me, I have
information to tell you which may help
you learn from this learning material. All
you need to do is relax, take a pen and
enjoy learning. Good luck!
Your Task…

LEARNING
 There are many ways to compare fractions. One way is illustrating
the fractions before comparing. Consider the problem below:

Andy has ½ pizza while Rene has 3/5 pizza. Who has the bigger size of pizza?

Seemingly 3/5 is bigger than ½. Therefore,

Rene has the bigger size of pizza. We can
simply write:
We use the following
1 3
symbols to compare:
2 5
Greater than (>)
Lesser than (<)
Equal (=)
Try These: Illustrate the fractions then compare. Use , or to compare.

We can also compare fractions by changing the dissimilar fractions to similar before
comparing the fractions.
Answer this problem: Mang Canor has ½ hectare of rice filed while Mang Isko has 2/3 hectare.
Who has the biggest size of rice field?
½ and 2/3 are dissimilar fractions. We can change them to similar using 6 as their LCD.

1 3 2 4
2 = 6 3
= 6

1 2 1 2
Therefore, 2 is lesser than 3 . Or 2 3 .
Mang Isko then has bigger size of rice field than Mang Canor.
Try These: Compare the fractions in the window pane. Write the dissimilar fractions to
similar fractions before comparing. Use the LCD on the wheel.

 We can also compare fractions by their resulting cross product.

Study the examples:

8 3 9 = 9 5 8

 Estimating the fraction may help you compare the two
fractions. Fraction is either close to zero (0), close to one half
(½) or close to one (1).

Estimate the fraction before you proceed with comparing.

 We can also change the fraction to decimal before comparing
the fractions.

Study the example:

1 3
2
is equal to 0.50 while 4
is equal to 0.75 therefore ¾ is greater than
½. Try These: Change the fractions to decimal before comparing.
