Comparing and Analyzing Fractions

This video tutorial from Zona Matematika teaches how to compare fractions using comparison symbols such as less than, greater than, and equal to. It covers methods for comparing fractions with the same and different denominators, including cross-multiplication for the latter. The tutorial includes practice problems to reinforce the concepts and encourages viewers to ask questions in the comments.
