yes.

1/2 is bigger than 1/4 because if you got 2 pizzas of the same size and cut one in 2 equal pieces and you cut the other in 4 equal pieces, the Pizza with 2 equal pieces would have larger pieces than the pizza with 4 equal pieces. do you understand? i hope i helped. ☺

How do you compare ant two fractions to decide which is largest?

A fraction has the numerator on 'top' and the denominator on the 'bottom'. If the two fractions have the same denominator (eg: 1/4 and 3/4) then you can simply compare the numerators, and the larger fraction has the larger denominator (in the above example, 3 is bigger than 1 so 3/4 is bigger than 1/4.) If the Denominators are different then you must find the common denominator. Do this by 'adjusting' (multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number) either one or both fractions, then comparing the numerators. eg: 2/3 and 1/2. The denominators are different, and the common denominator would be 6 (2x3). (This is not always the smallest though, like the lowest common denominator for 1/4 and 1/6 is 12, not 24.) Once you have the lowest common denominator, adjust the fractions: 2/3 becomes 4/6 (as you had to multiply 3 by 2 to get 6, multiply the numerator by 2). 1/2 becomes 3/6 (again, multiply numerator by the same number as the denominator). Compare the fractions: we have 3/6 and 4/6. 4/6 is bigger, which is the same as 2/3, therefore 2/3 is bigger than 1/2.


Is four thirds greater than three fourths?

yes four thirds is greater than three fourths as 4 third is bigger than one whole and 3/4 is not if you have a look. 4/3 has a smaller denominator than the numerator so that means it is bigger than 1 whole. 3/4 has a bigger denominator than the numerator so it is less than one whole.


What is bigger 2 fifths or 4 fifths?

4 fifths is bigger than 2 fifths. In fractions, the numerator represents the number of parts being considered, and the denominator represents the total number of parts in a whole. Therefore, having 4 parts out of 5 is greater than having 2 parts out of 5.


Is 34ths bigger than half?

I assume you mean 3/4ths and yes it is 1/2 3/4 the least common denominator is 4 multiply 1/2 by 2/2 you get 2/4 compared to 3/4


Is two fifths bigger or smaller than four ninths?

common denominator 2/5=18/45 4/9=20/45 so 2/5 is smaller than 4/8


Can the numerator be bigger than the denominator in fractions?

Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4


What is bigger 3 over 4 or 4 over 6?

To compare the sizes of fractions, it's helpful to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. When both fractions are converted to have a denominator of 12, 3/4 becomes 9/12 and 4/6 becomes 8/12. Therefore, 3/4 (9/12) is bigger than 4/6 (8/12) because 9/12 is greater than 8/12.


Why is nine twelfths bigger than two thirds?

To compare the 2, they both must have the same denominator, the number on the bottom of the fraction. To get 2/3 to have a denominator of 12 you have to multiply both the numerator and denominator, top and bottom number, by 4. this leaves you with 8/12. so 9/12 is clearly bigger than 8/12 since it has a larger numerator, top number, while having the same denominator, bottom number.


When the numerator is bigger than denominator a fraction is?

It can be anything you like.-3 is bigger than -4 but (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive fraction which is less than 1.4 is bigger than 3 but 4/3 is a positive fraction which is greater than 1.3 is bigger than -4 but 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative fraction which is greater than -1.4 is bigger than -3 but 4/(-3) = -4/3 is a negative fraction which is less than -1.
