let's do 1, 5, 6, 10 and 13.
1)
well, the denominator is the same on each, so we simply have to look at the numerator, who is larger 3 or 5? 3 < 5, 3 is less than 5, so then........
5)
6)
we can make both denominators the same if we simply <u>multiply each fraction by the other's denominator</u>.
10)
we'll convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions first, then make their denominator the same just like we did in 6).
13)
so both fractions are at a value from 9, so we can simply say, which is larger 2/6 or 4/12?
