Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions with the same denominator. It begins with a review of fraction vocabulary, including numerators and denominators, and introduces comparison symbols. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for comparing fractions, using examples and a word problem involving ribbon lengths. It also covers additional examples and explains how to determine when fractions are equal.

What does the numerator of a fraction tell us?

• The total number of parts being used

• How many parts are being counted

• 7/8 yard

• Both are equal

• Information is insufficient
