Question

compare using >, <, or =. hint: think about how you would fill in each rectangle below to help you compare the fractions. (\frac{3}{4}) (square) (\frac{3}{3})

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the fractions

We have two fractions, $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{3}$. First, simplify $\frac{3}{3}$ which equals $1$. And $\frac{3}{4}$ is less than $1$ because the numerator $3$ is less than the denominator $4$ (for a proper fraction, value is less than 1, and $\frac{3}{3}$ is an improper fraction equal to 1).

Step2: Compare the two values

Since $\frac{3}{4}$ is less than $1$ and $\frac{3}{3}=1$, we can conclude the relationship between $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} < \frac{3}{3}$
