Assignment 9a_ Comparing Fractions

Assignment 9a: Comparing Fractions Submission Instructions: Write your answers to the problems on paper and then scan that page(s). If there are multiple pages to your completed assignment, you must submit them as one multi-page document (pdf, docx, jpg, or png). If you upload more than one document, only the first document will be graded. Directions: Complete each of the following. 1. Use the common denominator strategy to determine which of the following two fractions is larger. Explain your reasoning using the common denominator strategy . or 2 5 3 5 Using common denominator strategy ⅗ is bigger than ⅖ because looking at the numerators 3 is bigger than 2. 2. Use the common numerator strategy to determine which of the following two fractions is larger. Explain your reasoning using the common numerator strategy . or 3 5 3 8 ⅗ is bigger than ⅜ because comparing numerations when they have a common denominator (40) ⅗ is 24/40 and ⅜ is 15/40 and 24 is bigger than 15 3. Use the benchmark strategy to determine which of the following two fractions is larger. Explain your reasoning using the benchmark strategy . Make sure you clearly state what number you are using as the benchmark. or 2 5 4 7 4/7 is bigger than ⅖ because 4/7 is closer to 1 than ⅖ 4. Use the benchmark strategy to determine which of the following two fractions is larger. Explain your reasoning using the benchmark strategy . Make sure you clearly state what number you are using as the benchmark. or 7 6 5 9 7/6 is bigger than 5/9 because using 1 as a bench mark 7/6is larger than 1 and 5/9 is not
