Question

Compare. 2 1/4 and 3 /14

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ is larger than $\frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{1*14}{4*14}$ = $\frac{14}{56}$

$\frac{3*4}{14*4}$ = $\frac{12}{56}$

i cant tell if it is $\frac{1}{4}$ or 2 $\frac{1}{4}$

but if it is 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ that mean this is a mixed number

and $\frac{3}{14}$ is a proper fraction
