Is 6/2 greater than 10/2?

To compare two fractions, such as 6/2 and 10/2, there are two main common methods: the first one involves finding a common denominator, and the other one is to convert the fractions directly into decimal values.

1) Using the same denominator

Given that 6/2 and 10/2 share the same common denominator (2), the comparison is straightforward: we just have to check which numerator is the largest.

Since 6 is smaller than 2, we can conclude that 6/2 is less than 10/2.

2) Converting to decimal

We can also simply convert the fractions into decimal values:

  1. 6 divided by 2 is equal to 3
  2. 10 divided by 2 is equal to 5

Since 3 is smaller than 5, it means that 6/2 is less than 10/2.
