Look at the figures and write ‘<’, ‘=’ or ‘>’ between given pairs of fractions:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Make five more such problems and solve them your friends.

(a) In this question, we have

The numerator of both the fractions are equal

Hence, fraction having lesser denominator will be greater

Therefore,

<

(b) In this question first of all we have to make same denominator of both the fractions:

=

Also,

=

Now, the denominators of both the fractions are equal

Hence, fraction having greater numerator will be greater

As, 9 > 4

Therefore,

>

(c) In this question we have

The numerator of both the fractions are equal

Hence, fraction having lesser denominator will be greater

Therefore,

>

(d) In this question, we have

= 1

Also,

= 1

Therefore,

1 = 1

Hence,

=

(e) In this question we have

The numerator of both the fractions are equal

Hence, fraction having lesser denominator will be greater

Therefore,

<
