Let’s take a look at each of these. If you look at 6/14, your denominator is 14. So what is half of 14? 7. So 7/14 is equal (or equivalent to 1/2). Therefore 6/14 is LESS than one half.

Lets look at 5/8. The denominator is 8. So what is half of 8? 4. So 4/8 is half. 5/8 is greater than 4/8. 5/8 is greater than 1/2** answer.

But don’t forget that it’s important to check the rest.

Let’s look at 25/30. The denominator is 30. What is half of 30? 15. So 15/30 is half. 25/30 is greater than 15/30. So 25/30 is ALSO greater than half.

Let’s check 3/6. 6 is the denominator. Half of 6 is 3. There for 3/6 is equal (or equivalent to) 1/2.Its not greater than 1/2.
