Question

when two fractions refer to the same whole and have the same denominators explain why you can compare only the numerators​

Answer 1

If the two fractions simplify to fractions with a common denominator, you can then compare numerators. If the denominators are different, you can find a common denominator first and then compare the numerators. Two fractions are equivalent fractions when they represent the same part of a whole.
