The next case we can get into is when the numerators of the fractions are the same, but the denominators are different. The following rule is provided for such cases:
If we compare two fractions with identical numerators, the one with the smaller denominator is larger. And correspondingly smaller is the fraction whose denominator is larger.
For example, compare fractions and
. These fractions have the same numerators. A
fraction has a smaller denominator than a
fraction. So the fraction
is larger than the fraction
. That's how we answer:
This example can be easily understood if you think of pizzas that are divided into three and four parts. A pizza is bigger than a
pizza:
Everyone would agree that the first pizza is bigger than the second.
