    Lesson 3:: Comparing and Ordering Fractions

    Uploaded by

    Bernaldez Ma. Kharine E.
    This lesson discusses comparing and ordering fractions. It defines similar fractions as those with the same denominator and dissimilar fractions as those with different denominators. An example compares the fractions 2/5, 3/5, and 1/2 drunk from orange juice pitchers. 2/5 and 3/5 are similar since they have the same denominator, while 2/5 and 1/2 are dissimilar. Relation symbols like > and < are used to compare fractions, for example 2/5 < 3/5 since 2/5 has a smaller numerator. Fractions can be ordered from least to greatest, with an example showing 2/5 < 1/2 < 3/5. Cross multiplication is also introduced as another method to

    LESSON 3:

    COMPARING AND
    ORDERING
    FRACTIONS
    LESSON OUTCOMES
    At the end of the lesson, the student should be
    able to:
    • Visualize similar and dissimilar fractions:
    • Compare fractions using relation symbols;
    • Order fractions in increasing and decreasing
    order; and
    • Solve word problems involving comparing and
    ordering fractions.
    Did you know?
    Twins are people who come from the same mother and are usually born on
    the same day. Twins can be classified as identical or fraternal. Identical
    twins look the same while fraternal look different from one another.

     Identical twins look similar while fraternal twins look


    different or dissimilar. Fraction can also be classified as
    similar or dissimilar.
    Lets have an example!
    Royce, Jeremy, and Andrew are bestfriends. They like to drink
    orange juice. Roice drank 2/5 pitcher of orange juice, Jeremy
    drank 3/5 pitcher of orange juice, and Andrew ½ drank pitcher
    orange juice.
    Two – fifth, Three – fifths and one – half can be illustrated as follows:
    Thus, we can say that 2/5 and 3/5 are similar fraction.

    SIMILAR FRACTION
    - Whole divided into equal parts or they are fractions
    with the same denominator.

    On the other hand, the division of the whole of 2/5


    and ½ are not the same. They have different
    denominators. So, we can say that 2/5 and ½ are
    dissimilar fractions.

    DISSIMILAR FRACTION
    - Fractions with different denominators.
    Fractions can also be compared using relation symbols such as
    greater than (>), less than (<) or equal (=).

    Lets us use a part of the problem from the previous example.

    Royce drank 2/5 pitcher of orange juice while Jeremy drank 3/5
    pitcher. Who between the boys drank a greater amount of
    orange juice?
    To compare these fractions, we can illustrate them as follows.
    Based on the shaded parts, we can say that 2/5 is less than 3/5. in symbols we
    can illustrate this as 2/5 < 3/5. Therefore, we can say that Jeremy drank a greater
    amount of orange juice than Royce.

     Since we have already known that 2/5 and 3/5 are “similar fractions” we
    can now generalize that without illustration, we can compare the fractions
    based on their numerators. That is, the bigger the numerator, the greater
    the fraction is or the smaller the numerators. That is, the bigger
    numerator, the greater the fraction is or the smaller the numerator, the
    lesser the fraction is.
    We can also arrange fractions in increasing or decreasing order.
    How do we arrange 2/5, 3/5, and ½ in ascending order?

    By illustration, we can represent them as follows.

    Based on the illustration, we can say that 2/5 is the least, and ½ is the
    middle and 3/5 is the last because it is the greatest among three. If we
    arrange the fraction in decreasing order, we come up with the arrangement
    3/5, ½, 2/5
    Note!
    Cross Multiplication
    can also be used in
    comparing and
    arranging fractions.
