2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Problem of the Day How much pie do you have if you take 2 of 5 total pieces? 0. 4 pie Course 3
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Learn to compare and order positive and negative rational numbers written as fractions, decimals, and integers. Course 3
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Vocabulary least common denominator (LCD) Course 3
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers To compare or order rational numbers, first write them in the same form. To compare fractions, find a common denominator. This could be the least common denominator (LCD), which is the least common multiple of the denominators. Course 3
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Remember! The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number, other than 0, that is a multiple of both numbers. Course 3
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Additional Example 1 A: Comparing Fractions by Finding a Common Denominator Compare. Write <, >, or =. 5 7 > 6 10 Method 1: Multiply to find a common denominator. Multiply 6 and 10 to find 6 10 = 60 50 5 10 10 5 = = 60 6 10 10 6 42 7 6 6 7 = = 60 10 6 6 10 50 > 42 , so 5 > 7 60 60 6 10 Course 3 a common denominator. Write the fractions with a common denominator. Compare the fractions
2 -2 Comparing and Ordering Rational Numbers Additional Example 1 B: Comparing Fractions by Finding a Common Denominator Compare. Write <, >, or =. 2 4 3 5 Method 2: Find the least common denominator. List multiples of 3 and 3; 3, 6, 9, 12, 15… 5. The LCM is 15. 5; 5, 10, 15 10 2 5 5 2 = = Write the fractions with 15 3 5 5 3 > 4 3 4 = 5 3 5 10 < 12 , so 15 15 Course 3 12 3 = 15 3 a common denominator. 2 < 4 3 5 Compare the fractions.
