Yes. The set of rational numbers is infinitely dense.If p/q and r/s are any two fractions then (p/q + r/s)/2 is a fraction which is between the two.

What it the greatest possible fraction greater than zero?
There is no such fraction. Fractions are infinitely dense and, between any two fractions, there are infinitely many more fractions. It is, therefore, always possible to find a larger proper fraction.For example,9/10 < 99/100 < 999/1000 < 9999/10000 and so on, for ever and ever.There is no greatest fraction.
How do you simplify when its just one number in fractions?
A fraction always has one number on top (the numerator), and another number on the bottom (the denominator). If it doesn't have both of those, then it's not a fraction.
What fractions is nearest to 2?
There can be no such thing as a nearest fraction since, given any fraction, it is always possible to find a fraction that is nearer.
Do you divide equivalent fractions?
Any fraction divided by an equivalent fraction will always equal one.Any fraction divided by an equivalent fraction will always equal one.Any fraction divided by an equivalent fraction will always equal one.Any fraction divided by an equivalent fraction will always equal one.
What is the product of two numbers that are reciprocals of one another explain why this is always the case?
A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal is always equal to one. This is because the reciprocal is an inversion of the fraction. The denominator of a fraction is the same number as the numerator of the reciprocal, and vice versa. The product of this is a fraction with the same numbers for the denominator and reciprocal, which is also known as an equivalent fraction. Equivalent fractions are always equal to one.
How many fractions are between three-fourths and one-half?
Whatever two fractions you name, no matter how close together they are, I can always name another fraction between them. In fact, there are an infinite number of fractions between any two fractions, no matter how close together they are. That goes for three-fourths and one-half.
When dividing fractions does the answer always end with an improper fraction?
Not always. There are times when division of fractions results in a non-improper fraction.
What comes after 2 3 in fractions?
There can be no answer because fractions are infinitely dense. Between any two fractions you can find another and between those two - yet another. So there can never be a next because you can always find one in between.

What is the smallest of all the fractions?
There is no complete answer because a fraction can always be reduced sot there is no smallest fraction.

Are rational number is a fraction sometimes always or never?
Rational numbers can always be expressed as fractions.
Can fractions always be written as decimals?
You can always convert a fraction to a decimal. For some fractions, you'll get terminating decimals. For example, 1/8 = 0.125. For other fractions, you get repeating decimals, such as 1/7 = 0.142857 142857 142857...To convert the fraction to a decimal, just divide the numerator by the denominator, for example on a calculator.
What is 5 over 12 in unlike and like fractions?
Like and unlike fractions only make sense when you have two [or more] fractions. One fraction, such as 5/12, is always like itself.
