To compare fractions o the same quantity, we use the symbol < and > to show how the numbers compare in size.
> means 'is greater than' or 'is larger than'
< means 'is less than' or 'is smaller to than'
Fractions with the same denominator are simple to compare. They are the same kind of fractions. For example, 3/5, 2/5, 4/5, 1/5 are all fifths. We can compare them using the sign <. That is 1/5 < 2/5 < 4/5. This is what we call ordering or arranging them in ascending order or increasing order of magnitude or size, starting with the largest.
Similarly we can compare using the sign <. 4/5 > 3/5 > 2/5 > 1/5.
This is what we call ordering or arranging them in descending order or decreasing order of magnitude or size, starting with the largest.
