Hey there!

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


(3)/(10) = 0.3 \\ \\ \\ (3)/(6) = 0.5 \\ \\ \\ (3)/(10) < (3)/(6)

So,
(3)/(6) is
BIGGER than
(3)/(10)


Small: (3)/(10) \\ \\ \\ Big: (3)/(6)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

★ Is 3/10 smaller than 3/6 ?

2 WAYS

1st Method

Change both fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator.


(3)/(10) = 3 / 10 = 0.3


(3)/(6) = 3 / 6 = 0.5

0.3 is less than 0.5. That means
(3)/(10) is smaller.

2nd Method

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


(3)/(10) * 100 = (300)/(10) = 30


(3)/(6) * 100 = (300)/(6) = 50

30 is greater than 50. That means
(3)/(10) is smaller.

Yes,
(3)/(10) is smaller than
(3)/(6)

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