@aaronq

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

which is bigger, (3/4) or (-5/6)?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

3/4

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

right?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, so which symbol?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

>

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, next one which is bigger, (-1 3/4) or (3/4)?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

3/4 ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, remember that positive numbers are bigger than negative numbers

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(3/4) is bigger

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

yay

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ok, now we compare (2 3/4) and (2 4/6) we can subtract 2 from each side to get (3/4) an (4/6)

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

now, to compare (3/4) and (4/6), find the Least common denominator

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

3/4 right?, because the smaller the denominator the bigger the number

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite, you need to convert both fractions to have the same denominator

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

that rule only works when the numerators are the same

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

So I convert 3/4 and 4/6 into a decimal?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

that approach works too

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

3/4 = 0.75 and 4/6 = 0.66666666667

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ok, so which is bigger?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

4/6?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

are you sure? which is bigger, 0.75 or 0.666667?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

0.666667?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@Vocaloid ?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):
