To compare and , rename one or both fractions with like denominators making them like fractions. Then compare the numerators. In this case, is renamed as so that we can compare the numerator of and .

Being able to compare fractions by picturing them in your mind will help you arrive at an answer more quickly than with calculation. As mentioned before, as the numerator increases it means that you have selected more parts. As the denominator increases it means that the parts are smaller.
Which is larger, or ?
