Understanding Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions by finding equivalent fractions. It demonstrates this process through several examples, including comparing three-fourths with two-thirds, six-sevenths with one-third, one-tenth with one-ninth, and two-thirds with five-sixths. The method involves multiplying each fraction by the other's denominator to find equivalent fractions with a common denominator, allowing for easy comparison.

What is the first step in comparing fractions using equivalent fractions?

• Subtract the smaller fraction from the larger one.

• Multiply each fraction by the other's denominator.

• Divide each fraction by the other's numerator.

• Add the fractions together.
