How do you tell which number is the smallest when they are in fractions?
\n" ); document.write( "Two ways.
\n" ); document.write( "1) Make them a decimal using a calculator. Example: \"2%2F11=0.1818182\"\"3%2F16=0.1875\" so \"2%2F11%3C3%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "2) Make them fractions with the same denominator, then compare.
\n" ); document.write( "Example: \"31%2F64\" \"49%2F100\" Common denominator=\"1600\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"31%2F64=+775%2F1600\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"49%2F100=784%2F1600\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"775%3C784\" so
\n" ); document.write( "\"31%2F64%3C49%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
