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.
Is one half less than one fifth?
No, one half is not less than one fifth. In fact, one half (0.5) is greater than one fifth (0.2). When comparing the two fractions, one half represents a larger portion of a whole than one fifth does.
Is two fifths larger or one second larger?
To compare two-fifths (2/5) and one-half (1/2), we can convert both fractions to a common denominator or convert them to decimals. Two-fifths is equal to 0.4, while one-half is equal to 0.5. Since 0.5 is greater than 0.4, one-half is larger than two-fifths.
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 fractions are greater than a half?
Fractions greater than one-half have numerators larger than half of their denominators. For example, ( \frac{3}{5} ), ( \frac{2}{3} ), and ( \frac{5}{8} ) are all greater than ( \frac{1}{2} ). Generally, any fraction ( \frac{a}{b} ) where ( a > \frac{b}{2} ) is considered greater than one-half.
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.
When adding two fractions that are both less than one half what must be true of the sum?
When adding two fractions that are both less than one half, the sum will always be less than one. Specifically, if both fractions are positive, their sum will be less than one because the maximum possible value for the sum is one half plus one half, which equals one. Therefore, the sum of two fractions each less than one half will be less than one.
What is one half equal to in fractions?
It is 1/2
