    I can't believe it took him over nine minutes to solve one simple problem that I could do in my head in less than ten seconds.

    Of course, 1/8 is bigger than 1/16. One should not need to find the LCD to figure that out. Imagine if you have a pizza, and you have to share it among 8 people vs 16 people. Of course you’ll get a bigger slice of pizza if you only have to split it among fewer people.

    I love math and I'd love to be great at it like you, but for me, it's easier to understand which is smaller/larger with the same numerator. The way I interpret the original fraction is; 1/8 has less parts than 1/16, therefore, 1/16 is the smaller fraction. In simpler terms, if you cut a pie into 8 slices, rather than 16, you will have much larger slices, making 1/8 larger. Maybe I am looking at it wrong or even in a way that encourages bad thinking, but that is how I interpreted it originally.
    I'm currently taking quantitative methods and cost accounting in college and I need to get better with fractions and more complex algebra. I love your videos because reading an e-Text does not help me, but your videos do!

    1/16th is smaller than 1/8th

    It was easy to calculate this equation in my mind because the LCD was one of the denominator in the problem. I took it a step further by thinking that if you divide any number by a smaller denominator the result will be larger. For example 16/2 is greater than 16/4 . 8 is greater than 4. You can change this to an algebra equation: x/2>x/4. My rule is if x is the same. The result will always be greater. Amazing how I remembered the math skills I learned over half a century ago. It did help taking an algebra course just before I graduated my online College a little over a decade ago.

    Did it in my head . !/and 1/16. !/8 is two xtimes the value of 1/116. Please- a challenge. ( Although I am a retired Maths teacher.)

    It takes 1 step. just solve for the denominators

    With due respect i am not able to comprehend why the elongated explanation given that at the very first glance-milliseconds-the answer is obvious given that the numerators of the fractions are identical. The more times you divide a numerator the smaller it gets. Always.
