Comparing Mixed Fractions | Comparing & Ordering Mixed Numbers

When the whole number parts are equal, we first convert mixed fractions to improper fractions and then compare the two by using cross multiplication method. The fraction with greater whole number part is greater. For example 3$$\frac{1}{2}$$ > 2$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Comparison of Like Fractions | Comparing Fractions | Like Fractions

Any two like fractions can be compared by comparing their numerators. The fraction with larger numerator is greater than the fraction with smaller numerator, for example $$\frac{7}{13}$$ > $$\frac{2}{13}$$ because 7 > 2. In comparison of like fractions here are some
