Comparing Fractions with Like Numerators and Like Denominators

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. It covers comparing fractions with like numerators and like denominators, emphasizing the importance of starting with the same size hole. Visual models are recommended as a strategy to accurately compare fractions, highlighting that the fraction with the smallest denominator is the largest when numerators are the same, and the smallest numerator is the smallest when denominators are the same.

When comparing fractions with like numerators, what must be true about the holes?

• They must be smaller than the denominators.

• They must be larger than the numerators.

• They must be the same size.

• They must be different sizes.

If two fractions have the same numerator, which fraction is larger?

• The one with the smaller numerator.

• The one with the smaller denominator.

• The one with the larger numerator.

• The one with the larger denominator.

What is true about fractions with the same denominators?

• The fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.

• The fraction with the larger numerator is larger.

• The fraction with the smaller numerator is larger.

• The fraction with the larger numerator is smaller.

Which strategy is recommended for comparing fractions?

• Using a calculator.

• Drawing visual models.

• Memorizing fraction tables.

• Guessing based on size.

When comparing fractions with the same denominator, what determines the smallest fraction?

• The smallest denominator.

• The largest denominator.

• The smallest numerator.

• The largest numerator.
