Question

Comparing 3 fractions

3/8 4/5 1/2

I don't really need the answer I'd really appreciate an explanation of how to compare 3 fractions with different denominators though, thank you

Answer 1

You can compare by finding common denominators for all the fractions

Answer 2

So what you would want to do is find the least common for all 3 of those denominators. Then you would want to convert each of those fractions to the same denominator and compare. There’s another method you can do called the butterfly method which is really fast. The picture will explain how to do that.
