Which is Greater? ? Comparing Numbers
Which is greater? A B 114 or 1, 140 4, 001 or 4, 100 132, 045 or 133, 043
Which is greater? 114 or 1, 140 100 1, 000 4, 001 or 4, 100 0 100 132, 045 or 133, 043 Check the space furthest to the left first; which has a greater a place value? Check the value of the space furthest to left. The are the same? Check the next space. What do you think?
Which is Bigger? 132, 045 2, 000 133, 043 = 3, 000 The Larger answer
Which is Greater? Decimals 35. 010 or 35. 10 4. 20 or 40. 2 1. 02 or 1. 024
Which is Greater? Decimals 35. 010 or 35. 10 4. 20 or 40. 2 1. 02 or 1. 024
Which is Greater? Fractions ¼ or ¾ ½ or ¼ 1/3 or 4/15 1/21 or 1/12
Which is Greater? Fractions ¼ or ¾ ½ or ¼ 1/3 or 4/15 1/21 or 1/12
Which is Greater? Fractions ¼ or ¾ Because the denominators (number on the bottom of the fraction) of both fractions are the same, we only have to look at the numerator (number at the top of the faction) 1/4 3/4
Which is Greater? Fraction ½ or ¼ �First: Check the denominators. Are they the same? �Second: If the numerators are not the same, determine the least common multiple of the denominator. � What are multiples of 2? What are multiples of 4? � 2=2, 4, 6, 8, 10 4=4, 8, 12, 16 ? What is the lowest multiple 2 and 4 have in common? 4
Which is Greater? Fractions ¼ or ½ �Third: make the denominators the same � Change the denominator in ½ to 4. �Multiply both the top number and bottom number by 2 Now you have 2/4 So now, the question reads: Which is greater? ¼ or 2/4
¼ or ½ �A quick way to answer this question is to draw fraction pies:
What is Greater? Fractions 1/3 or 4/15 Are the denominators the same? If not, what is the least common multiple of the denominator? 3= 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 15= 15, 20, 45, 60, 75, 90 The denominator for both fractions should be 15. To change the denominator of 1/3, multiply both the top and bottom numbers by 5. Our new problem reads: 5/15 or 4/15. Which is the answer? ?
What is Greater? Fractions 1/21 or 1/12 This is based on common sense or logic. If I have a pizza divided into 21 slices… And a pizza divided into 12 slices? And you only get one slice from one of the pizzas… Which would you prefer (what is the bigger slice)?
