What is Compare Fractions?

Cross-multiplication compares two fractions without converting either to a decimal: multiply the first numerator by the second denominator and vice versa.

How it works

We compute both cross-products, compare them, and state the relationship — also plotting both fractions on a number line for a visual check.
