The video tutorial from Math Antics teaches how to compare fractions using two methods: cross-multiplying and decimal conversion. Cross-multiplying involves multiplying the top number of each fraction by the bottom number of the other fraction to determine which is greater. Decimal conversion requires dividing the top number by the bottom number to get a decimal value for easy comparison. The video emphasizes understanding the relationship between the numerator and denominator and provides examples to illustrate both methods. Practice is encouraged to master these techniques.
