Title: Comparing Unit Fractions On A Number Line - Fast And Easy Math Learning Videos
In this lesson you’ll learn how to compare unit fractions.
A unit fraction is any fraction that has 1 as the numerator. For example, one-half, one-fourth, or one-seventh.
To compare unit fractions let’s start by using a number line.
You already know that when we divide one whole into halves we get two equal parts.
When we divide one whole into thirds we get three equal parts.
When we divide one whole into fourths we get four equal parts.
And so on. So you can see that when we split the whole into more parts,
each part gets smaller
So a unit fraction with a larger denominator is a smaller number, and a unit fraction with a smaller denominator is a larger number.
Let’s look at an example: one-fourth and one- sixth.
Let’s look at these on the number line.
We can see that one-fourth is larger than one-sixth because it’s farther to the right on the number line.
One-fourth has a smaller denominator so it’s a larger number than one-sixth.
Let’s look at another example: one-twelfth and one-half. The number with the larger denominator is the smaller number.
So one-twelfth is less the one-half. In the remainder of this lesson you’ll get practice comparing unit fractions.
