Question

How do you compare each pair of fractions with <, > or = given `3/2, 35/20`?

Answer 1

`3/2 < 35/20`

Explanation:

Make both denominators of the two fractions the same, the simplest way to achieve this is to multiply `3/2` by 10, this means multiplying top and bottom by 10 in order to keep the fraction the same. so `10/10 *3/2 = 30/20`. Now you can compare the numerators and see which is larger and since both denominators are the same, 35 is clearly larger, so `35/20 > 30/20`
