Comparing Fractions with the Same Numerator

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions with the same denominator and the same numerator. It uses visual examples like cakes, scarves, and ribbons to illustrate the concepts. When fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. Conversely, when fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater. The tutorial emphasizes understanding these concepts through visual aids and practical examples.

If two fractions have the same denominator, how do you determine which one is greater?

• Compare the numerators

• Compare the denominators

• Add the numerators and denominators

• None of the above

What happens to the size of the pieces when a cake is divided into more pieces?

• Pieces become larger

• Pieces become smaller

• Size of pieces does not change

• Cannot be determined

In fractions with the same numerator, which fraction is larger?

• Fraction with the larger denominator

• Both fractions are equal

• Depends on the shape of the pieces

• Fraction with the smaller denominator

Which fraction represents a larger portion: 1/3 or 1/6?

• Both are equal

• 1/6

• 1/3

• Depends on the total size

If one scarf is 1/6 blue and another is 1/4 blue, which scarf has less blue?

• 1/4 blue scarf

• 1/6 blue scarf

• Both have the same amount of blue

• Cannot determine from the information given

Comparing 2/4 and 2/3, which fraction is smaller?

• Depends on the color of the ribbons

• Both are equal

• 2/3

• 2/4

What does a smaller denominator in a fraction indicate about the size of the pieces?

• Smaller pieces

• Larger pieces

• Equal pieces

• Irrelevant to piece size

What is the effect of having the same numerator in two fractions?

• Makes one fraction always larger

• Easier to compare denominators

• Makes the fractions equal

• No effect on comparison

Which fraction is larger: 1/3 or 1/6, and why?

• Cannot determine without additional information

• Both are equal

• 1/6, because it has a larger denominator

• 1/3, because it has a smaller denominator

When comparing fractions with the same numerator, what should you look at to determine which is larger?

• The numerator

• The color of the pieces

• The denominator

• The total number of pieces
