Compare Fractions by Converting to Unit Form
Compare Fractions by Converting to Unit Form is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Compare decimal fractions to the thousandths using like units, and express comparisons with >, <, =. in Eureka Math, Grade 5.
Key Concepts
Property To compare fractions with denominators of 10, 100, or 1000, first write them in unit form. Then, convert them to have like units (a common denominator) before comparing their numerators. For example, to compare $\frac{a}{10}$ and $\frac{b}{100}$, rewrite $\frac{a}{10}$ as $\frac{10a}{100}$.
Examples Compare $\frac{7}{10}$ and $\frac{34}{100}$. $\frac{7}{10}$ is 7 tenths. $\frac{34}{100}$ is 34 hundredths. 7 tenths = 70 hundredths. Since 70 hundredths 34 hundredths, $\frac{7}{10} \frac{34}{100}$. Compare $\frac{4}{10}$ and $\frac{400}{1000}$. $\frac{4}{10}$ is 4 tenths. $\frac{400}{1000}$ is 400 thousandths. 4 tenths = 400 thousandths. Since 400 thousandths = 400 thousandths, $\frac{4}{10} = \frac{400}{1000}$.
Explanation This skill connects fractions to their decimal unit equivalents. By expressing fractions like $\frac{7}{10}$ as "7 tenths" and $\frac{34}{100}$ as "34 hundredths", you can use place value understanding to compare them. To compare values accurately, you must first convert them to like units, such as changing tenths to hundredths. This method reinforces the relationship between fractions and decimals and strengthens comparison skills.
