When ones whose numerator is less than its denominator?
It is a rational number which is less than 1. If the absolute value of the numerator is less than the absolute value of the denominator then the fraction is a proper fraction.
How can you tell if a fraction is less than equal to or less than one?
If the fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator than the fraction is greater than one If the fraction has a numerator less than the denominator than the fraction is less than one If the numerator and the denominator are the same numbers than the fraction is equal to one **The numerator is the top number; the denominator is the bottom number**
What forms can a rational number be in?
All rational numbers can be written as one integer (the numerator) over another integer (the denominator). If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is a vulgar (or common) fraction. If the denominator is 1, then only the numerator may be written in which case it may take the form of a whole number, eg 5/1 can also be written as 5. If the numerator equals the denominator, the fraction can be simplified to 1/1 which would be written as the whole number 1. If the numerator is greater than the denominator, then it is an improper (or top heavy) fraction and can be written as a mixed number which is a whole number along with a proper fraction (with the original denominator), eg 5/3 can also be written as 12/3 The denominator can be any non-zero integer, ie zero is not allowed to be the denominator of any fraction.
Why is a numerator less than the denominator?
a numerator can be more than the denominator but, if it is it is a improper fraction. so the numerator is less than the denominator do the fraction can be proper.
Why you consider improper fractions right if in fractions numerator is less than or equal to denominator?
The numberator does not have to be less than or equal to the denominator in a fraction.If the numerator is less than the denominator, it is a "proper" fraction.If the numerator is equal to the denominator, it is the integer 1.But the numerator can be bigger than the denominator, and it is then called an improper fraction.

What is a fraction called that has the numerator or denominator or both?

How does a numerator compare with the denominator in each of the fraction is it less or equal.?
numerator=top number of a fractiondenominator=bottom number of a fraction
What is larger five-sixths or one whole?
Any number where the numerator is smaller than the denominator is less than one. If the numerator is equal to the denominator (for example, 6/6), that number is equal to one. If the numerator is greater than the denominator, then the number is greater than one.

What is a mixed number for three sixteenths?
there is no mixed number because the numerator is less than the denominator
How does the situation change if the numerator is less than the denominator?
If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4 and if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 6/4
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.
What do call a numerator that is less than its denominator?
There is no special name for such a numerator.
