LETS REVIEW AND COMPARE!!!!!!!

Lets review for a second, below are some questions to review EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS


























We will be using what we learned yesterday about EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS to compare and order fractions. In order to compare and order fractions the fractions must have the same denominator. This does not mean you can just change the denominator and you're finished. Sorry. You will have to create new fractions that are both EQUIVALENT and LIKE FRACTIONS.
