Appreciate how you start at the beginning to demonstrate the “rule” then apply the rule to increasingly more difficult problems. So glad I found you!
Thank you Susanne! You made mathematics fun and interesting again!
Example: 3/5 vs. 4/7. Cross multiply numerators and denominators: 3 x 7=21, 4 x 5=20. Select the numerator associated with the larger product: 3. That is your biggest fraction: 3/5. It is more mechanical but it works.
using food is brilliant ;). Thanks Susanne!
"Hello my lovelies" always makes my day! Is there any chance you can cover standard deviation?
What a great video! I got it. Your method is very simple and easy to understand. Thanks! 🥰
Very nice your explanation
I love using a similar basic idea to teach my students about fractions: Cookies Per Person, where the numerator is cookies and denominators is people
looks great - another way to find common denominator - is to multiply the fraction by 1 - doing that never changes the value of a number - so in example 2 - 2/2 x 4/5 = 8/10 and is greater than 3/10 if we used 20 as a common dominator then multiplying by 4/4 x 4/5 gives 16/20 It's a different way to look at it - not better just different.
You are really lovely mathematician. God bless you !
Thank you, Susanne. ❤❤❤
Hello Susanne, here my solution ▶ 2/5 versus 3/5 Since the denominators are same: 3 > 2 ⇒ 3/5 > 2/5 b) 4/5 versus 3/10 is the same with: 8/10 versus 3/10 8 > 3 ⇒ 4/5 > 3/10 c) 5/4, 5/6, 3/2 , 2/3 We can set the denominators of the numbers equal by making them both 12 (since 4*3 =2*6 = 12, so: 5*3/12, 5*2/12, 3*6/12, 2*4/12 15/12, 10/12, 18/12, 8/12 ⇒ 3/2 > 5/4 > 5/6 > 2/3 d) 2743/804 versus 2743/805 Here, the numerators are the same, the denominators are different, and the fraction with the smaller denominator is bigger: 2743/804 > 2743/805
You are an absolute delight.
Good day, I was intrigued by the way you moved the numbers about by circling them (though not a circle and not completely ringed). It had me wondering what software you are using to do this.
Express the fractions in percentages , done
2: LCD = 10 so 4/5 = 8/10 3: LCD = 12 so 5/4 = 15/12 5/6 = 10/12 3/2 = 18/12 and 2/3 = 8/12 4: no LCD: same numerator and larger denominator means smaller result
Dear Math Queen, What video category do you choose when uploading your videos, education or another category? Thank you.
There was an opportunity here to go through how to find the least common denominator.
The common denominator for 804 and 805 is 646,020!
