1/2 shaded

To compare fractions, you can use benchmarks like 1/2, convert to a common denominator, or use decimal equivalents. Pick the strategy that is easiest for the set of fractions you are looking at.

💡 If one denominator is a multiple of the others, a common denominator is often the quickest path.
