Common questions
Why is ⅓ bigger than ¼ when 4 beats 3?
Cut a cake into three or into four: fewer cuts, bigger slices. The denominator counts the cuts, so bigger bottom means smaller piece. One cake picture beats any rule.
What is the half test?
Compare each fraction to a half: ⅜ is under a half, ⅗ is over, done, no common denominators needed. It settles a surprising share of comparisons instantly.
