This document provides instructions for comparing fractions, including:
1) Fractions with the same denominator can be directly compared by looking at the numerators, as the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.
2) To compare fractions with different denominators, they must be converted to equivalent fractions with a common denominator, which is found by finding the least common multiple of the original denominators.
3) Once fractions have a common denominator, they are comparable by looking at the relative size of their numerators.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Compare Fractions 1 The fractions 2 / 4 and 3 / 4 have the same denominator. Fractions with the same denominators are like fractions .
3. Compare Fractions 2 If denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger. So 3 / 4 is larger than 2 / 4 .
4. Compare Fractions 3 9 / 16 and 7 / 16 are like fractions . The numerator 9 in 9 / 16 is larger than the numerator 7 in 7 / 16 , making 9 / 16 larger than 7 / 16 .
5. Compare Fractions 4 The fractions 2 / 5 and 2 / 3 have the same numerator. The denominator 5 in the fraction 2 / 5 means that the unit has more parts, making the parts smaller. Therefore, 2 / 5 is smaller than 2 / 3 .
7. Compare Fractions 6 The fractions 3 / 4 and 5 / 8 have unlike denominators and unlike numerators. Fractions that have unlike denominators are unlike fractions .
8. Compare Fractions 7 To compare 3 / 4 and 5 / 8 , rename one or both fractions with like denominators making them like fractions . Then compare the numerators. In this case, 3 / 4 is renamed as 6 / 8 so that we can compare the numerator of 6 / 8 and 5 / 8 .
9. Compare Fractions 8 To compare fractions with unlike denominators rename the fractions with like or common denominators, making them like fractions . To find a common denominator: Think of the denominators 4 and 8 in 3 / 4 and 5 / 8 . Does the smaller denominator 4 divide evenly into the larger 8? Yes, then the larger denominator 8 is the common denominator. If the smaller denominator does not divide evenly into the larger, Multiply the larger denominator by 2, 3, and then 4, etc. Each time check for division by the smaller denominator.
10. Compare Fractions 9 In the fractions 3/4 and 2/3: 1. Multiply the larger denominator 4 by 2 to get 8. Does 3 divide evenly into 8? No. 2. Multiply the larger denominator 4 by 3 to get 12. Does 3 divide evenly into12? Yes, So 12 is a common denominator of the denominators 4 and 3.
11. Compare Fractions 10 Now that we know that 12 is the least common denominator for the fractions 3 / 4 and 2 / 3 , we can write each fraction with a denominator of 12 using the procedure in Rename Fractions To Higher Terms. 3 / 4 = 9 / 12 2 / 3 = 8 / 12 9 / 12 and 8 / 12 are like fractions so now all we have to do is compare the numerators. Since 9 is greater than 8 the fraction 9 / 12 is greater than 8 / 12 .
12. Compare Fractions 11 Here is the picture of 3 / 4 and 2 / 3 . The picture shows that 3 / 4 is larger than 2 / 3 . Notice that each fraction has been renamed to 9 / 12 and 8 / 12 .
13. Compare Fractions 12 The common denominator of 5 and 4 is 20 because both 5 and 4 divide evenly into 20.
14. Compare Fractions 13 The numerators are the same in 3 / 5 and 3 / 4 . The smaller denominator will give a larger fraction.
15. Compare Fractions 14 Another method for comparing is to think of the fractions. In this example it is obvious that 1 / 3 is smaller than 7 / 8 . For one thing, 1 / 3 is smaller than 1 / 2 and 7 / 8 is larger than 1 / 2 .
16. Compare Fractions 15 Being able to compare fractions by picturing them in your mind will help you arrive at an answer more quickly than with calculation. As mentioned before, as the numerator increases it means that you have selected more parts. As the denominator increases it means that the parts are smaller. Which is larger, 5 / 8 or 7 / 16 ?
17. Compare Fractions 16 5 / 8 is larger. It takes practice, but being able to estimate by visualizing the fraction (number sense) will help you to understand fractions better.
