Question

Two fractions have the same denominator which is the greater fraction: the fraction with the greater numerator or the lesser numerator

Answer 1

Hi there!

If two fractions have the same denominator then the number in the numerator determines what fraction is greater. To help clarify I'll give an example.

3/10 and 8/10. Both have the same denominator however 8/10 has the greater numerator. Therefore the fraction with the greater numerator is the larger fraction.
