Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
Proper fractions are less than 1. Improper fractions are greater than 1. For a proper fraction to become an improper fraction, you would have to add a quantity that would make it greater than 1.
1/5, 1/6, 1/7 and so on.
Whether fractions work better than decimals or less as well is very much a question of your preference.
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.
1 over ten is equal to 0.1, so all fractions who represent a number smaller then 0.1 are smaller than 1 over 10.
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Proper fractions.
1/3
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
1/2, 1/4
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.
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.
1 over 16
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
1 over 7 Many fractions can be less than 2/7. If you're looking for any ol' answer, you can decrease the 2 to 1 to get 1/7 or increase the 7 to 8 to get 2/8 (or 1/4).
