What fraction is larger than a half?
There are infinitely many fractions between a half and one. One of them is 2/3
When fractions have like denominators the larger the what the larger the fraction?
When you have fractions with like denominators, the larger is the one with the larger numerator.
What fraction is larger?
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
How do you know that a fraction is closest to one half?
In order to compare two fractions, you have to convert them so that they have the same denominator, which is to say, they are the same kind of fraction, whether that is thirds, quarters, fifths, etc. Let's say that I want to compare 2/9 with 1/5. I can make them both into 45ths. Multiply the 2/9 by 5/5 and you get 10/45. Multiply the 1/5 by 9/9 and you get 9/45. Now you can compare, because 10/45 is obvious 1/45 larger than 9/45. In the example given, since both fractions are less than a half, the larger one is closer to a half. If I had two fractions that were both larger than a half, then the smaller one is closer to a half. What if I have a fraction that is larger than a half and another fraction that is smaller than a half, and I want to know which is closer to a half? I would have to convert all 3 fractions (half is also a fraction) so that they have common denominators, then I can easily subtract a candidate fraction from a half, or subtract a half from it, and see which gives the biggest difference.
Which is larger one third of one half or one half of one third?
Neither is larger.
Is the sum of two fractions always a fraction?
No - one half plus one half equals one.
What fractions are bigger than one half?
Three fourths is bigger than one half.
What is one half equal to in fractions?
It is 1/2
What is larger one half or one eighth?
One half.
Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
Is 23.4 or 23 1 half larger?
23 and one half is larger.
