Pre-Algebra on Khan Academy: No way, this isn't your run of the mill arithmetic. This is Pre-algebra. You're about to play with the professionals. Think of pre-algebra as a runway. You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

i did this last year this home work for my work so this is easier but impressive really impressive

[ManishGupta-xljo]

Thanks a lot instructor!!! I know these things but I like mathematics and sometimes see videos on Khan Academy as passtime. I like your way of sharing from the bottom of your heart. Thanks again instructor!!!

[ThomasGiles]

Looks about right. How do you do this computationally as opposed to visually?

[heavenskore]

This helped me a lot more then my lesson so thank you

[vampy]

you explain math better than my math teacher lol and she says shes an A math teacher

[DriverHenryWho]

Even when I get the point, I keep watching these videos just because they look satisfying.

[dgerjevic]

Hey...you people don't get it! There are some folks out here that really need this! So give this fine young instructor a break!!!

[phoebebui]

My teacher made me watch this when I’ve already done the homework for this.

[sayemaahmadi]

thank you this helps me a lot make more videos!!😃😀😁😛

[guerillachan]

Do you have your videos on hard drives maybe set up a Khan Academy server in every continent.

[melissawilson]

This helped me a lot. Please make more videos!

[nhi.t.t]

thank you for making my online better on canvas

[SchindleSkater]

This is helping my twin/baby girl she got a 100

[Mac-gbkn]

There is a word called cross multiply😊

[JamieTwells]

It's easy to see when the demoninator is the same, right? Because it's just which numerator is the biggest is which fraction is the biggest. If you want to compare two fractions that are different, eg:

• a/b compared to x/y

simply make the demoninator the same by multiplying by the other denominator, e.g:

• a*y/b*y compared to x*b/y*b (* means multiply)

Now you can see that if a*y is bigger than x*b then then a/b is bigger than x/y

4/7 > 3/7
3/7 < 3/4
3/4 > 2/4
2/4 = 3/6

I love this video I got an 100 because of you

[DionelEtienne]

You should at least compare fraction with different denominator or fraction for which the numerator is greater than the denominator. People turn to educational channel to get help. go to any 4th grade of 5th grade around the country and do a test on this content you will be surprise that most the student understand it clearly. Please try to be helpful. I know that you can, I also have an educational channel that talk about mathematics that is why that I want your channel to do better
