Comparing Fractions: Like Denominators and Numerators

The video tutorial by Miss Barl explains how to compare fractions with like denominators and like numerators. It begins with an introduction to comparing fractions with like denominators, emphasizing that when denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. The tutorial then moves on to comparing fractions with like numerators, explaining that the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger. The video concludes with practice exercises to reinforce these concepts.

What makes it easier to compare fractions with like denominators?

• The numerators are different sizes.

• The pieces of the fractions are of the same size.

• The denominators are of different sizes.

• The fractions represent different values.

When comparing fractions with the same denominator, which fraction is larger?

• The one with the larger numerator.

• The one with the smaller denominator.

• The one with the smaller numerator.

• The one with the larger denominator.

What does a fraction with a larger numerator represent when denominators are alike?

• A more complex calculation.

• A larger portion of the whole.

• A smaller portion of the whole.

• A less significant value.

Why are fractions with like denominators easier to compare?

• Because they represent the same whole divided differently.

• Because they have the same value.

• Because the pieces are of the same size.

• Because they have the same number of pieces.

What rule applies when comparing fractions with like numerators?

• The larger the numerator, the larger the fraction.

• The larger the denominator, the larger the fraction.

• The smaller the numerator, the larger the fraction.

• The smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.

Why is a fraction with a smaller denominator larger when the numerators are the same?

• Because the fraction is more complex.

• Because it is easier to calculate.

• Because it represents a larger quantity.

• Because the pieces of the fraction are larger.

When fractions have the same numerator, what does a smaller denominator indicate?

• A more complex fraction.

• A fraction that is harder to understand.

• A larger fraction.

• A less valuable fraction.

In the comparison of fractions with like numerators, what determines the larger fraction?

• The fraction with the smaller denominator.

• The fraction with the larger numerator.

• The fraction with fewer pieces.

• The fraction with more pieces.

How can visual models help in comparing fractions?

• By using different shapes for each fraction.

• By illustrating the size of the pieces of each fraction.

• By displaying the fractions in a larger font.

• By showing different colors for each fraction.

In visual models, how is the larger fraction determined when denominators are the same?

• By counting the number of shaded parts.

• By the total number of parts.

• By measuring the size of the rectangle.

• By the color of the shading.
