196 Arrow-Puffin-4_Semester-1 MathsORDERING OF FRACTIONAL NUMBERSLet's Understand Conceptual UnderstandingHow can we say which one is larger?%u2022 Consider the fractions with same denominators. 152535 4555 If the denominators are the same, as the value of the numerator increases, the value of the fraction also increases. Thus, 55 > 45 > 35 > 25 > 15 When the denominator is the same, as the value of the numerator decreases, the value of the fraction also decreases. Thus, 15 < 25 < 35 < 45 < 55%u2022 Consider the fractions of same numerators. 12 13 14 15 110 If the numerators are the same, as the value of the denominator increases, the value of the fraction decreases. Thus, 12 > 13 > 14 > 15 > 110 If the numerators are the same, as the value of the denominator decreases, the value of the fraction increases. Thus, 110 < 15 < 14 < 13 < 12
