What are regular fractions?
Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
How do you subtract fractions when the first numerator is smaller than the other numerator?
if they have the same denominator just subtract it . if it doesn't than find the denominator.
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Why is the product of two fractions smaller than two fractions thet were multiplied?
That's only true if the fractions are "proper" fractions ... with numerator smaller than denominator. The reason is: If you take (a piece less than the whole thing) out of (a piece less than the whole thing), you wind up with a piece smaller than either of the original pieces.
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.
Why do numbers get smaller when multiplied by fractions less than 1?
If you multiply by 1 they stay the same. If you multiply by more than 1 they increase. Fractions less than 1 are less than unity so the products decrease because you are only taking a fraction of the number.
How can a number line help us think about fractions greater than 1 and less than 0?
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
How do you convert between improper fractions and proper fractions?
You don't. Proper fractions are less than one, improper fractions are greater.
You are less than 56 and greater than 48 so subtract my digits to get 3?
The only number to fit these constraints is 52.
Are all fractions are less than one?
No, improper fractions (ex: 3/2) are greater than one.
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.
