the numbers are larger, but could mean less or more:
1/20000000 is small
and 20000000/1 is large

How can you tell which fractions is greater if both fractions have the same numerator?
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
How do you find the difference between two mixed fractions?
Subtract the smaller fraction from the larger one.
What can You noticE about comparing 2 fractions when the numerators are the same?
The larger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator, when the numerators are the same.
What fraction is larger?
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
When you divide a unit fraction less than 1 by a whole number is the quotient larger or smaller than the fractions?
The answer depends on the sign of the numbers.(1/4) / 3 = 1/12, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 3 = -1/1, which is larger.
How can you tell which fractions is greater if both fractions have the same numerator?
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
Which is larger fractions or percentage?
Neither. Some fractions are bigger than some percentages and some are smaller.
Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
How do you find the difference between two mixed fractions?
Subtract the smaller fraction from the larger one.
If 2 fractions have the same numerator but different denominator how can you tell which is greater?
In that case, and assuming both fractions are positive, the one with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction, because you are dividing by a larger number.
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
What can You noticE about comparing 2 fractions when the numerators are the same?
The larger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator, when the numerators are the same.
What are the types of fractions?
The two types of fractions are proper fractions, in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator, and improper fractions, in which the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
When fractions have like denominators the larger the what the larger the fraction?
When you have fractions with like denominators, the larger is the one with the larger numerator.
Why do you compare fractions?
To compare any two fractions they first need to be converted to numbers on a similar basis: Convert both to decimals: the smaller decimal is the smaller fraction. Find equivalent fractions with the same denominator: the fraction with the smaller numerator is the smaller number. Find equivalent fractions with the same numerator: the fraction with the larger denominator is the smaller number. I recommend that the last of these is used for integral reciprocals (comparing 1/2, 1/4, 1/7 etc) or by more proficient users.
What fraction is larger?
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
How do you subtract bigger fractions from smaller fractions?
You don't
