standard_description: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Fill in the blank to make the statement true.
$$\frac{3}{4}>\frac{3}{\square}$$
Problem 2
a.   Compare
$$5\over 6$$
and
$$5\over 8$$
. Use <, >, or = to record your comparison.
b.   Explain how you know your answer in Part A is correct. Draw a picture or a number line to support your reasoning.
