Does a proper fraction have a numerator larger than the denominator?
No, a proper fraction has a numerator smaller than the denominator.
Why do you end up with a smaller fraction when you multiply a whole number by a fraction?
You do not!3 is a whole number, 7/3 is a fraction.If you multiply the whole number by the fraction you get 3*(7/3) = 7, which is larger not smaller.
What is larger one seventh or one eighth?
One seventh is larger than one eighth. The smaller the number under a 1 in a fraction, the larger that fraction is. Think 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and you'll see the size of the fraction increasing; the numbers are becoming larger.
Proper fraction and improper fraction?
If you're asking the difference, then a proper fraction is when the numerator is smaller than the denominator. And an improper fraction is a fraction bigger than whole or when the numerator is larger than the denominator.
What is a fraction of a fraction?
A fraction of a fraction is yet another (usually smaller) fraction. For example 1/4 of 1/3 = (1x1) / (4x3) = 1/12 Only when both or one of the fractions is an "improper" fraction (larger than 1) does the multiplication give a result that is larger than the beginning fractions. For example : 7/4 x 3/5 = 21/20 = 1 1/20
When you divide a fraction by a whole number is the answer larger or smaller than the fraction?
smaller
How is it possible to find a fraction smaller than another fraction?
No because the smallest fraction depeneds on how many parts you have for instance if the denominator is larger the fraction is smaller
How can you tell which fraction is smaller by looking at their denominators?
You can't unless the numerators are equal. In that case, the fraction with the larger denominator is smaller.
Can you ever find a fraction smaller than any other fraction?
No, because there is an infinite number of possibilities smaller from the larger gives
When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the dominator. It is a fraction.?
yes. if the numerator is larger than the denominator it is an IMPROPER fraction.
How do you subtract a larger fraction from a smaller fraction?
8/20-15/20=7/20
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
Does a proper fraction have a numerator larger than the denominator?
No, a proper fraction has a numerator smaller than the denominator.
When you divide a unit fraction less than 1 by a whole number is the quotient larger or than fraction smaller than?
it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25
Why is the answer larger when you multiply a whole number by a whole number and smaller when you multiply a whole number by a proper fraction?
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
Why do you end up with a smaller fraction when you multiply a whole number by a fraction?
You do not!3 is a whole number, 7/3 is a fraction.If you multiply the whole number by the fraction you get 3*(7/3) = 7, which is larger not smaller.
