LESSON

When comparing fractions, first check their denominators. Whenfractions have the same denominator, they are called likefractions. When two fractions have different denominators, theyare called unlike fractions. To compare unlike fractions, firstrename the fractions so they have the same denominator. This iscalled finding a common denominator.

Comparing Like FractionsCompare. Write �, �, or �.
