## Texas Go Math Grade 4 Lesson 4.2 Answer Key Compare Fractions

Essential Question

How con you compare fractions?
Explanation:
Use equivalent fractions with the same denominator.
When two fractions have the same denominator, they have equal-size parts. You can compare the number of parts.

Every year, Avery’s school has a fair. This year, $$\frac{3}{8}$$ of the booths had face painting and $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of the booths had sand art. Were there more booths with face painting or sand art?
$$\frac{3}{8}$$ has more that means face painting has more

Compare $$\frac{3}{8}$$ and $$\frac{1}{4}$$.
$$\frac{3}{8}$$ has more that means face painting has more

One Way Use equivalent fractions with the same denominator.

When two fractions have the same denominator, they have equal-size parts. You can compare the number of parts.

Another Way Use equivalent fractions that have the same numerator.

When two fractions have the same numerator, they represent the same number of parts. You can compare the size of the parts.

Since $$\frac{3}{8}$$ _________ $$\frac{1}{4}$$, there were more booths with _________ .
Since $$\frac{3}{8}$$ > $$\frac{1}{4}$$, there were more booths with  . $$\frac{3}{8}$$
