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
