00:00hi kids today we will learn comparing unlike fractions and mixed numbers so
00:10let's get started
00:14let's first see how we compare like fractions fractions that have the same
00:22denominators are called like fractions these are a few examples of like
00:32fractions you can directly compare add subtract and performing other
00:39mathematical operations on like fractions examples for comparing 2 by
00:498 5 by 8 you just need to compare the numerators fractions with bigger
00:57numerator is a bigger fraction so here 5 by 8 is greater than 2 by 8 now let's
01:09see what are unlike fractions and how we can compare them fractions that have
01:17different denominators are called unlike fractions these are all examples of
01:26unlike fractions if two fractions have different denominators that is if they
01:36are unlike fractions it is difficult to determine which fraction is larger
01:43example comparing 4 by 5 and 7 by 6 first we need to convert them to like
01:54fractions and then only we can compare them for that multiply both the numerator
02:02and denominator of each fraction with the denominator of other fraction that
02:10is multiply 4 by 5 with 6 by 6 and 7 by 6 with 5 by 5 4 times 6 equals 24 5 times
02:286 equals 30 7 times 5 equals 35 6 times 5 equals 30 now we have converted these
02:43fractions to like fractions as the denominator are the same now just compare
02:52the numerators to find the bigger fraction and here 35 is greater than 24
03:01so 35 by 30 is a bigger fraction or 7 by 6 is a bigger fraction now let's take
03:16another example we have to compare 3 by 4 and 2 by 8 first we need to convert
03:30them to like fraction and then we will compare them for that multiply both the
03:40numerator and denominator of each fraction with the denominator of the
03:46other fraction that is multiply 3 by 4 with 8 by 8 and 2 by 8 with 4 by 4 like
04:02this 3 times 8 equals 24 4 times 8 equals 32 2 times 4 equals 8 8 times 4
04:20equals 32 now they are like fractions as the denominators are the same so just
04:30the numerators to find the bigger fraction and here the bigger numerator
04:38is 24 so 24 by 32 is bigger than 8 by 32 or 3 by 4 is bigger than 2 by 8 now let's
04:58learn comparing mixed fractions kids numbers in the form like this are mixed
05:07fractions now let's learn comparing them example we have to compare these two mix
05:19numbers we know mixed numbers have two parts a whole part and a fraction part
05:27first we compare the whole part mixed number with bigger whole part is bigger
05:36number and if the whole parts are the same then we compare the fraction parts
05:44here in this example the whole parts are different and 4 is bigger than 2 so this
05:55mixed fraction is a bigger fraction now let's see another example here in these
06:05two fractions the whole parts are the same so we will compare the fraction
06:12parts and the number with the bigger fraction will be the bigger number so we
06:19have to compare 4 by 6 and 2 by 7 they are unlike fractions so compare them the
06:29way we compare unlike fractions that is first convert them to like fractions by
06:39multiplying both the numerator and denominator of each fraction with the
06:46denominator of the other fraction so we will multiply 4 by 6 and 7 by 7 and 2 by
07:007 with 6 by 6 by multiplying we get 28 by 42 and 12 by 42 comparing the
07:17numerators we get 4 by 6 is bigger than 2 by 7 so this mixed fraction is a
07:29bigger fraction because the fraction portion here is bigger what we learned
07:37today today we learned comparing unlike fractions and mixed numbers okay kids now
07:47you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more bye-bye
