Ordering and Converting Fractions

This video tutorial from A Star Personal Tutoring covers how to order fractions from least to greatest. It begins with a simple example using fractions with the same denominators, then progresses to more complex examples with different denominators. The tutorial explains how to find the least common multiple to convert fractions to a common denominator, allowing for easy comparison and ordering. Two examples are provided, with the second example encouraging viewers to try on their own.

What is the first step in ordering fractions with the same denominators?

• Multiply the fractions

• Find a common denominator

• Add the fractions

• Compare the numerators

Which fraction is the smallest in the set 2/7, 1/7, 3/7?

• 2/7

• All are equal

• 1/7

• 3/7

What is the focus when ordering fractions with different denominators?

• Finding a common numerator

• Finding a common denominator

• Subtracting the fractions

• Adding the fractions

Which fractions are used in the first example of ordering with different denominators?

• 1/2, 2/3, 3/5

• 3/4, 1/2, 2/3

• 1/3, 2/5, 3/7

• 2/3, 1/2, 3/4

What is the least common multiple of 2, 3, and 4?

• 8

• 12

• 24

• 6

How do you convert 2/3 to have a denominator of 12?

• Multiply by 2

• Multiply by 3

Which fraction is the smallest after conversion: 8/12, 6/12, 9/12?

• 8/12

• 6/12

• 9/12

• All are equal

What fractions are used in the second example of ordering with different denominators?

• 7/8, 5/6, 1/3

• 1/2, 2/3, 3/4

• 2/3, 3/4, 4/5

• 3/5, 4/7, 5/8

What is the least common multiple of 8, 6, and 3?

• 12

• 18

• 24

• 36

How do you convert 7/8 to have a denominator of 24?

• Multiply by 3
