Step 1
Lets assume fractions with bigger numbers and check
Lets assume two fractions that has bigger numbers
13 and 27
To compare both fractions we make the denominators same
multiply the first fraction by 7 and second fraction by 3
So the fractions becomes
921 and 621
Step 2
921 and 621
From these two fractions , we can say that 9 is greater than 6
So 912 is greater than 621
13>27
From this she can understand that , that fractions that use bigger numbers are greater than fractions that use smaller numbers are not always true.
