To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
the lower number for the denominator greater the number is.
Fractions that are greater than one are known as improper or 'top-heavy' fractions as the numerator is greater than the denominator.
