Exploring Equivalent and Comparing Fractions

The video tutorial covers equivalent fractions, explaining how fractions with different numerators and denominators can represent the same value. It demonstrates finding equivalent fractions by multiplying by one in the form of a fraction. The tutorial also explains how to find the least common multiple (LCM) to compare fractions effectively. By using LCM, fractions can be converted to have the same denominator, allowing for easy comparison of their numerators. The video includes several examples to illustrate these concepts, helping students understand and apply the methods to solve fraction problems.
