I appreciate the formality, Susanne. My intuition is to convert the fractions to decimals at least roughly in my head and then sort. I enjoy your videos!
Suzanna, hello 👋! I am a recent subscriber to your channel. I love your teachings. I came across the channel first when you did a video on logarithms. I hope you keep putting up content to keep us wannabe math students (me, for example!), sharp. Thank you for your time! Just wanted to give a quick shout-out and a thank you for sharing your knowledge. You take care and hope to continue to be challenged with your lessons! Respectfully, Doug P.
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.
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.
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
My method was quicker. I just compared the top part to the bottom part of each fraction. Only two of the examples given were top heavy (more than one). So that narrows our options down to One and a Quarter OR One and a Half. Since a half is obviously bigger than a quarter, that's our answer. (ie 3/2)
You can also just cross-multiply. As long as you don't multiply with a negative number, the inequality stays the same. 2/5 ? 3/5 |*5 2 ? 3 2 < 3 Therefore 2/5 < 3/5 In case of the last one: 2743/804 ? 2743/805 |*804 *805 /2743 805 ? 804 805 > 804 Therefore 2743/804 > 2743/805
Good way to start a weekend! A few minutes of math! Better than starting the weekend with a hangover, for certain! 😆
You can have both 😅
@MathQueenSusanne Math WITH a hangover? I'd be feeling as though I'd be too cruel to my sobering-up math students that way. 🤢
@@davepowder4020 Math with a hangover? That would drive me to drink! 😮
Thank you Susanne! You made mathematics fun and interesting again!

What a great video! I got it. Your method is very simple and easy to understand. Thanks! 🥰
using food is brilliant ;). Thanks Susanne!
What program are you writing with in your videos please?
Thank you, Susanne. ❤❤❤
Susanna, please can you teach us calculus. You are the best.
I second the notion! I could really use a refresher. 😅
Also linear algebra, probability, and statistics please
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
"Hello my lovelies" always makes my day! Is there any chance you can cover standard deviation?

Anyone know what app is used for the writing/drawing/etc?

You are an absolute delight.
Dear Math Queen, What video category do you choose when uploading your videos, education or another category? Thank you.
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
The common denominator for 804 and 805 is 646,020!
As I don't eat cheese (it's milk that gone putrid!), I don't eat pizza. I'll just pretend you were illustrating using banoffee pie instead.
Why does she get 2 pieces of pizza? Because she's da Queen! 😉
if you look at the history of mathematics (there is no nobel prize for it) almost all of them are from the german-speaking world
Math examples via pizza always hit home

Seit wann hast du einen Englisch Kanal 🫠
I love you.
Was ist das hier für ein Paralleluniversum?
You can also just cross-multiply. As long as you don't multiply with a negative number, the inequality stays the same.
2/5 ? 3/5 |*5
2 ? 3
2 < 3
Therefore
2/5 < 3/5
In case of the last one:
2743/804 ? 2743/805 |*804 *805 /2743
805 ? 804
805 > 804
Therefore
2743/804 > 2743/805
A German trying to concur the math world... just joking.

Another method is to multiply each fraction with LCM and compare them as whole numbers.
