Why is the square root of a fraction greater than the given fraction?

You mean a proper fraction (less than 1). Multiply anything by less than 1 and you will make it smaller. Therefore the square root of your result is bigger than the start value. For numbers bigger than one it's the other way round.


When the numerator is bigger than the denominator a fraction is?

There is no specific name. -3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive proper fraction. 3 is greater than -4 and 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative proper fraction. 3 is greater than -2 and 3/(-2) = -3/2 is a negative improper fraction. 4 is greater than 3 and 4/3 is a positive improper fraction. Thus, the fraction can be negative or positive, proper or improper.


What are three rules you can use to compare fractions?
