Comparing Fractions with Same Denominators Using Number Lines

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions with the same denominator by using a number line. It covers ordering fractions with denominators of fifths, eighths, and tenths, demonstrating how to determine which fraction is greater by observing their positions on the number line. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of numerators in comparing fractions with the same denominator.

How do you determine which fraction is larger when they have the same denominator?

• By finding a common numerator

• By comparing the denominators

• By comparing the numerators

• By converting them to decimals

On a number line divided into eighths, which fraction is greater: 3/8 or 5/8?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 5/8

• 3/8

If you have fractions 2/8 and 6/8, which one is smaller?

• 2/8

• 6/8

• They are equal

• Cannot be determined

Which fraction is larger on a number line divided into tenths: 4/10 or 7/10?

• 7/10

• 4/10

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

On a number line divided into tenths, which fraction is smaller: 3/10 or 9/10?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 9/10

• 3/10
