Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 3 · Whoobee Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Compare the fractions. Write <, > or =, or answer the question.
How to solve
When two fractions have the same denominator, the wholes are cut into the same number of equal parts, so every part is the same size. Then the fraction with more parts is bigger: just compare the numerators. 58 > 38 because 5 eighths is more than 3 eighths. If the numerators are the same too, the fractions are equal: 46 = 46.
Example
23 ___ 13
Answer: >
Warm-up
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Both wholes are cut into 5 equal parts, so the parts are the same size. Compare the numerators: 2 < 4. So 25 < 45.

Challenge
Not quite. The answer is
💡 All three have 5 equal parts, so only the numerators matter. The numerator must be more than 1 and less than 3, and the only whole number between them is 2. So 15 < 25 < 35.
