Pedro Hurst · Answer 1

If you have issues with knowing which fraction is bigger or smaller thing of them as a number with a decimal instead. Like 15/30 is. 50 (or 50%) and 1/3 is. 33 (or 33%) and 2/3 is. 66 (or 66%). So you know that 50 is between 33 and 66.

Levi Davies · Answer 2

You convert them to a different fraction so that they all have the same denominator

15/30 stays the same

1/3 becomes 10/30 (multiply both numerator and denominator by 10)

and 2/3 becomes 20/30 (multiply both numerator and denominator by 10)

This way you can compare all the fractions easily
