Answer:
answers below. Let me know if anything didn't make sense. You definitely need to make sure you understand so you can put it into your own words.
Explanation:
2a: The fraction bar for 4/5 would be more full. if you cannot picture ityou may just have to draw it. use a ruler and draw two equal length "bars" then divide one into fifths and the other into sevenths, then fill in the appropriate amount.
2b: 4/5 > 4/7
2c: The idea is that as the denominator gets larger, those 4 pieces take up less and less space. Try thinking what happens with 4/1, 4/2, 4/3, 4/4, 4/5, 4/6 and 4/7 It ight be easier to envision something like 1/2 and 1/4. Two 1/4s would make 1/2, so 1/4 is less than 1/2.
3a: You could try thinking in percents or decimals. 1/2 is obviously 50% then 4/7 is 4 times 1/7, and 1/7 is about 14%, so 14*4= 56%. Or you could compare more directly like saying 1/2 is 50% and 3.5/7 would be 50%, so 4/7 is bigger. There are a lot of ways to think about it.
3b: the easyness is shown in my second idea in 3a. it's super easy to cut a number in half. it will either be a whole number or a number with .5 at the end. then you can tell if your other fraction is bigger or smaller than 1/2
