compare 3/4 and 3/6 without using fraction strips or a number line , how can you tell which fraction is greater?
The greater fraction would be 3/4....if the numerator is the same, go by the denominator. The first fraction has 4 in the denominator....the smaller number in the two denominators is the greater fraction.
3/4=0.75
3/6=0.5
3/6<3/4
3/6=0.5
3/4=75.
another tip 3/4 is closer to its whole which make the number bigger that goes for any fraction
