Question

Two pairs of fractions are shown. Which symbol correctly compares each pair of fractions?

Drag and drop the symbol that correctly compares each pair of fractions into each box.

Answer 1

I don't see the actual fractions in your message. Could you either type the two fraction pairs here (for example "3/4 and 2/3" and "5/8 and 3/4") or upload the picture?

If you want to compare them yourself, use one of these quick methods:

1. Cross-multiplication (works for any two positive fractions a/b and c/d):
- Compute a*d and c*b.
- If a*d > c*b then a/b > c/d.
- If a*d < c*b then a/b < c/d.
- If equal, the fractions are equal.

2. Convert to common denominator:
- Rewrite both fractions with the same denominator and compare numerators.

3. Convert to decimals:
- Divide numerator by denominator for each and compare the decimal values.

Example: Compare 2/3 and 3/5 by cross-multiplying:
2*5 = 10 and 3*3 = 9, so 2/3 > 3/5.

Send the two pairs and I'll place the correct <, >, or = for each.
