4. Fractions with the same numerator

  • Fractions with the same numerator are compared by looking at the denominators.
  • When the numerator is the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
  • This is because the same number of equal parts is cut into fewer pieces, so each piece is bigger.
