Question

is 3/10 smaller than 3/6 ?

Answer 1

★ Is 3/10 smaller than 3/6 ?

2 WAYS

1st Method

Change both fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

$\frac{3}{10} = 3 \div 10 = 0.3$

$\frac{3}{6} = 3 \div 6 = 0.5$

0.3 is less than 0.5. That means $\frac{3}{10}$ is smaller.

2nd Method

Multiply each fraction by 100 and see which result is less.

$\frac{3}{10} \times 100 = \frac{300}{10} = 30$

$\frac{3}{6} \times 100 = \frac{300}{6} = 50$

30 is greater than 50. That means $\frac{3}{10}$ is smaller.

Yes, $\frac{3}{10}$ is smaller than $\frac{3}{6}$

It doesn't matter which method you use because you will always end up with the same answer.

Answer 2

Hey there!

In order to find to find out which fraction is "greater" "smaller" "equal to", you could solve the fraction for its decimal!

$\frac{3}{10} = 0.3 \\ \\ \\ \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 \\ \\ \\ \frac{3}{10} < \frac{3}{6}$

So, $\frac{3}{6}$ is $BIGGER$ than $\frac{3}{10}$

$Small: \frac{3}{10} \\ \\ \\ Big: \frac{3}{6}$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
