Comparing Fractions with Equal Numerators

The video tutorial explains the basic concepts of fractions, including numerators and denominators. It teaches how to compare fractions with the same denominator by looking at the numerators and how to compare fractions with the same numerator by examining the denominators. The tutorial concludes with a general rule that if two fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.

What is the role of the denominator in a fraction?

• It tells you how many parts are represented.

• It tells you how many equal parts make up the whole.

• It is always larger than the numerator.

• It determines the size of the fraction.

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

• The one with the smaller numerator is larger.

• The one with the larger numerator is larger.

• The one with the larger denominator is larger.

• They are always equal.

When comparing 2/6 and 2/16, which fraction is larger and why?

• 2/16 is larger because it represents more parts.

• They are equal because they have the same numerator.

• 2/6 is larger because it has a smaller denominator.

• 2/16 is larger because it has a larger denominator.

What happens to the size of a fraction as the denominator increases, assuming the numerator stays the same?

• The fraction becomes negative.

• The fraction stays the same.

• The fraction becomes smaller.

• The fraction becomes larger.

What is the general rule for comparing fractions with the same numerator?

• The fraction with the smaller denominator is greater.

• The fraction with the larger denominator is greater.

• The fractions are always equal.

• The fraction with the larger numerator is greater.
