This is a video to help you with a quiz on that quiz if you are having difficulty with comparing fractions.
We also talked about using benchmarks to compare fractions. Close to 0, less than 1/2, more than 1/2, close to one.
For example :
Compare 3/5 to 2/6. 3 is more than half of 5, so 3/5 is more than 1/2. 2 is less than 1/2 of 6, so 2/6 is less than 1/2.
Therefore we can say that 3/5 > 2/6.
