If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1.
If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1.
If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.

How do you do greater than and less than with fractions?
You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.
What are common fractions?
When the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction but if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction.
What is the least common denominator of two fractions?
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
Why do you have to have a common denominator?
A common denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators.
How can you tell a fraction is greater than another?
Two ways: If they're unlike fractions, convert them to like fractions with a common denominator and compare numerators. Convert them to decimals by dividing their denominators into their numerators and see which is greater.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than one?
A fraction is greater than one if the the top number (numerator) is greater than the lower number (denominator).
How do you do greater than and less than with fractions?

How do you put fractions to greater to least in common denominator?

What is the least common denominator of two fractions?
The least common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions.
What ingredients are in adding fraction?
If you mean the steps, they are as follows:* Identify a common denominator. Any common denominator will do. * Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions, with the common denominator found in the previous step. (If the fractions start off with the same denominator, there is nothing else to do in these first two steps.) * Add the numerators. That's the numerator of the result. Copy the common denominator as the denominator of the result. * Check whether you can simplify the resulting fraction.
What are fractions that have the same denominator called?

How do you get a common denominator for subtracting fractions?
Just multiply the two denominators of your fractions, the answer you get is a common denominator.
Is the least common denominator of two fraction is always greater than the denominator of the fractions?
Not always. If one denominator is a multiple of the other, the LCD will be the larger one.
