Comparing Fractions with the Same Numerator

The video tutorial explains how to compare fractions by using examples of 5/6 and 5/8, and 2/5 and 2/3. It begins with a visual representation of fractions using a cake analogy, showing how 5/6 is larger than 5/8 because the pieces are bigger. The tutorial then moves on to comparing 2/5 and 2/3 without drawings, emphasizing that 2/3 is larger due to fewer divisions, resulting in larger pieces. The video highlights the importance of understanding the size of fraction pieces and how to use comparison symbols correctly.

What does 5/6 represent in terms of cake pieces?

• Four out of six pieces

• Five out of seven pieces

• Five out of six pieces

• Six out of five pieces

If a cake is divided into 8 pieces, what fraction represents five of those pieces?

• 6/8

• 5/7

• 5/8

• 4/8

Which fraction is larger, 5/6 or 5/8?

• 5/6

• Cannot be determined

• 5/8

• They are equal

Why is 5/6 considered larger than 5/8?

• Because 6 is larger than 8

• Because 5 pieces of 6 are larger than 5 pieces of 8

• Because 5 is larger than 6

• Because 8 pieces mean larger individual pieces

How does dividing a whole into more pieces affect the size of each piece?

• Makes each piece larger

• Does not affect the size

• Makes each piece smaller

• Doubles the size of each piece

What is the correct symbol to show the relationship between 5/6 and 5/8?

• 5/6 < 5/8

• 5/6 <= 5/8

• 5/6 > 5/8

• 5/6 = 5/8

What does 2/5 represent?

• Two out of four pieces

• Five out of two pieces

• Three out of five pieces

• Two out of five pieces

Which fraction represents a larger portion of the whole, 2/3 or 2/5?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• 2/5

• 2/3

If a cake is divided into three pieces, what fraction represents two of those pieces?

• 1/2

• 3/2

• 2/3

• 2/4

Why are two pieces of a cake divided into thirds larger than two pieces of a cake divided into fifths?

• Because thirds are inherently larger

• Because dividing into fewer pieces results in larger individual pieces

• Because fifths are smaller than thirds

• Because the cake divided into thirds is larger
