Study Notes
Comparing Fractions with Unlike Denominators
- To compare fractions with unlike denominators, find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of both fractions.
- The LCD is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
Finding the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD)
- The LCD of 5/6 and 3/8 is 24.
Equivalent Fractions with the Same Denominator
- The equivalent fraction of 5/6 with a denominator of 24 is 20/24.
- The equivalent fraction of 3/8 with a denominator of 24 is 9/24.
Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator
- Compare fractions with the same denominator by comparing their numerators: the larger fraction has the larger numerator.
- In this case, 20/24 is greater than 9/24.
