What are three rules you can use to compare fractions?

Rule #1

When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator.

Rule # 2

When comparing fractions that have the same numerator, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator.

Rule # 3

You can convert the fractions and then just put the greater than, less than or equal to sign to see what the comparison is between the fractions.
