Compare \( 1 / 2 \) with \( 3 / 4 \) using \( (<,>,=) \)

To compare \( \frac{1}{2} \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \), we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. 1. **Finding a common denominator**: The least common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4. We can convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to have a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2}{4} \] Now we can compare \( \frac{2}{4} \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \). 2. **Comparison**: Since \( \frac{2}{4} < \frac{3}{4} \), we have: \[ \frac{1}{2} < \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, the comparison is: \[ \frac{1}{2} < \frac{3}{4} \]
