Two fractions can have different numerators and denominators and represent the same amount. For example, \(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}\). Each third can be split into two sixths, so two thirds covers exactly four sixths of the same whole.
When a comparison feels uncertain, use the working space to draw two bars of the same length. Divide each bar into the number of equal parts shown by its denominator. Shade the number of parts shown by its numerator, then compare the shaded lengths to check your symbol.
