if the value above the line of the fraction is greater than or equal to the value below the lin, then the fraction is equal to or greater than 1 whole.
How do you turn an improper fraction to a regular fraction?

When a is divided by a fraction greater than zero and less than 1?
The result is a number whose absolute value is greater than a.
How do you change a mixed fraction in to a proper fraction?
You cannot. By definition, the absolute value of a mixed fraction is greater than one while, again by definition, the absolute value of a proper fraction is less than one.
Why is it when you multiply by a fraction the original number gets smaller?
A fraction is normally used to represent a value is less that 1. So if you have 1 of a number and then find something that is less than 1 of it, it is naturally going to be smaller. However, you can also have a fraction that is greater than 1, in which case the value multiplied will be greater than the original.
How how you know whether a fraction is less than 1 or greater than 1?
If the denominator is positive and the numerator is less than the denominator then the fraction is less than 1. If the denominator is positive and the numerator is greater than the denominator then the fraction is greater than 1.
Why is the reciprocal of a fraction less than one always a fraction greater than one?
A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.
Is the fraction 37 greater than or less than 710?
Where is the fraction? 37 is less than 710.
When you multiply a fraction by a number greater than one how does the product compare to the fraction?
The absolute value of the answer will be greater than the absolute value of the original.
What is the difference between proper and improper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is less than its denominator, meaning its value is less than 1. An improper fraction is one whose numerator is greater than its denominator, meaning its value is more than 1. An improper fraction can always be written as a mixed number ... an integer plus a proper fraction.
Which does not have a value greater than 12 and less than 13?
5. It does not have a value greater than 12. Consequently, it does not have a value greater than 12 and less than 13.
How can you tell if a fraction is less than equal to or less than one half?
If the signs of the numerator and denominator are different then the fraction is less than 0 and, therefore, obviously less than one half.If the signs are the same then if the absolute value of the numerator is less than or equal to half the absolute value of the denominator, then the fraction is less than or equal to one half.Algebraically,p/q
