Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.78 Fraction Comparison Statements and Justifications skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Compare 4/8 and 5/8. Choose the option with the correct symbol and a justification that refers to the same whole.
A4/8 > 5/8 because the denominator is 8.
B4/8 < 5/8 because the wholes are the same size and both are split into 8 equal parts. 4 is less than 5, so 4/8 < 5/8.
C4/8 > 5/8 because 4 is less than 5.
D4/8 < 5/8 because Leo's rectangle is larger.
Solution & Explanation:The wholes are the same size and both fractions have denominator 8, so the pieces are the same size. Compare numerators: 4 < 5, so 4/8 < 5/8.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Compare 3/6 and 4/6. Choose the option with the correct symbol and a justification that refers to the same whole.
A3/6 < 4/6 because Ivy's rectangle is larger.
B3/6 > 4/6 because the denominator is 6.
C3/6 < 4/6 because the wholes are the same size and both are split into 6 equal parts. 3 is less than 4, so 3/6 < 4/6.
D3/6 > 4/6 because 3 is less than 4.
Solution & Explanation:The wholes are the same size and both fractions have denominator 6, so the pieces are the same size. Compare numerators: 3 < 4, so 3/6 < 4/6.
