Comparing Fractions and Finding the Least Common Denominator

The video tutorial by Mighty Owl teaches how to compare and order fractions by finding a common denominator. It starts with a practical example using bread loaves to illustrate the concept of comparing fractions. The tutorial explains the process of finding the least common denominator (LCD) and converting fractions to equivalent forms for easy comparison. It also covers ordering fractions from least to greatest and provides multiple examples to reinforce the learning. The video concludes with a summary of the key concepts and encourages further practice.
