When you divide two fractions how can you tell if the quotient is greater then 1?

To determine if the quotient of two fractions is greater than 1, compare the two fractions directly. If the numerator (the first fraction) is greater than the denominator (the second fraction), the quotient will be greater than 1. Alternatively, you can convert the division of fractions into multiplication by flipping the second fraction and multiplying; if the result is greater than 1, the original quotient is also greater than 1.


Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than both?

It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.


Can be the improper fractions less than 1?

Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.


What are the different forms of fractions?

1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.


Why is the quotient of two fractions always greater than either fraction less than 1?

When both fractions are less than 1, their values are represented by numbers between 0 and 1. Dividing one fraction by another (where both are less than 1) effectively involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator, which is greater than 1. This means the quotient will yield a result that is larger than either of the original fractions. Thus, the quotient of two fractions, both less than 1, will always be greater than either fraction.

How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?

To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.

Why is reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 is always greater than 1?

Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
