Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 3 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Compare the fractions. Write <, > or =.

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.
