You half to times them by 4 and add 2
3/4 is greater than a half.
Three fourths is bigger than one half.
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.
Yes
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.
Yes. 2/3 = 4/6, and 1/2 = 3/6. In general, to convert two fractions, you can do one of the following:Convert both fractions to a common denominator.Use a calculator and convert both to a decimal representation.
Unfortanitly,No
Yes. Look at the denominator (10). If the denominators of both fractions are equal than go with the higher numerator as the greater number
You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.
There are an infinite number of both fractions and whole numbers.
1/4,1/8,1/16...
2/3 or 4/5 or 93/100 There are an infinite number of fractions greater than a half
