M7 - 2comparing Rational

This document discusses different methods for comparing rational numbers: 1. The cross-multiplying method involves multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second, and vice versa, then comparing the resulting products. 2. The common denominator method finds a common denominator, converts the fractions to equivalent fractions with that denominator, and compares the numerators. 3. The fractions to decimals method converts each fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, then compares the decimal values. 4. A number line can also be used to compare and order rational numbers by placing them on the number line from least to greatest. Examples of applying each method are provided.

Fractions to Decimals Method


Cross-Multiplying Method
1. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction with
denominator of the second fraction.
2. Multiply the numerator of the second fraction with
denominator of the first fraction.

3. Check the products to see which answer is


larger.
