Estimating fractions to the nearest whole number?
If the fraction is less than half, round down. If the fraction is half or greater, round up.
When two fractions less than one are multiplied the product is sometimes greater than 1?
Certainly. -31/2 and -41/2 are both less than 1 and their product is 15.75
How coule you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is greater than one-half?
In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
Is it true that when you multiply two natural numbers the product is never less than either of the two numbers?
Yes. Natural numbers are counting numbers, equal to or greater than 0. The only ways a product can be less than its multiplicands is when multiplying fractions by fractions or multiplying a positive number by a negative number.
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.
When will the quotient of two fractions less than 1 be greater than either fraction?
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.

What other fractions that are less than one half?
Any fraction with a numerator of one and a denominator greater than two.
When two fractions less than one are multiplied the product is sometimes greater than 1?
Certainly. -31/2 and -41/2 are both less than 1 and their product is 15.75
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.
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.

How do you do greater than and less than with fractions?
You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.
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.

Who do fractions get smaller when you multiply them by another fraction?
It depends on what type of fraction it is. If the fractions are improper fractions, the product will be greater than the two fractions multiplied together. (Ex: 3/2 x 5/4 = 15/6 or 5/2. 5/2 is greater than 3/2.) If the fractions both have 1 as a numerator, the product is smaller. (Ex: 1/3 x 1/6 = 1/18. 1/18 is less than 1/3.) Any other fractions, it would depend on what fractions you're multiplying. Remember, you are multiplying the numerator by the other numerator and the denominator by the other denominator. (Answer Product of numerators/Product of denominators)
Is the quotient of two fractions greater or less than the fractions you srart with?
It is greater as for example 3/4 divided by 1/4 is equal to 3
