Rules and objective
Choose whether the left fraction, right fraction or neither is greater. Positive numerators and denominators are generated locally and evaluated by their exact numeric ratios.
How scoring works
Correct answers add to a running score across a ten-question set. Scores are saved only in this browser's local storage, so changing devices or clearing site data starts a new local record.
What we checked in this build
We verified left, right and equal outcomes and compared representative questions with cross multiplication.
This note describes the Starbox implementation rather than the rules of every similarly named game elsewhere.
Use cross multiplication
To compare a/b and c/d with positive denominators, calculate a×d and c×b. The larger cross product belongs to the larger fraction. For 3/5 versus 5/8, compare 3×8=24 with 5×5=25, so 5/8 is larger. No decimal rounding is needed.
Match each product to the right fraction
Write the products in crossed order but interpret them carefully: a×d represents a/b, while c×b represents c/d. Many errors come from calculating both products correctly and assigning the result backward. Point mentally from each numerator to the opposite denominator.
Use benchmarks as a quick check
Compare each fraction with one-half or one. A numerator smaller than half its denominator gives a value below one-half. In the example above, both are above one-half, and 5/8 should be only slightly larger than 3/5. The benchmark catches an obviously reversed cross-product decision.
Handle equality and simplification
Equal cross products mean equal fractions, even when the numerators and denominators look different: 2/3 and 4/6 both produce 12. Simplifying can make patterns easier to see, but it is optional for comparison. Keep denominators positive and treat the exercise as exact arithmetic rather than a visual guess about digit size.
