Oh, isn't that a happy little question! A fraction smaller than 1/12 could be 1/13, 1/14, 1/15, and so on. Just imagine all these tiny fractions living together in harmony, each one special in its own way. Remember, in the world of fractions, there's always a place for every little number to shine bright.

Well, honey, any fraction that has a denominator greater than 12 is smaller than 1/12. So, you've got a whole bunch of options to choose from - 1/13, 1/14, 1/15, and the list goes on. Just steer clear of those pesky fractions with denominators of 12 or less, and you'll be golden.

Any fraction with a denominator greater than 12 would be smaller than 1/12. For example, 1/13, 1/100, or 1/1000 are all fractions smaller than 1/12. This is because when the denominator is larger, the value of the fraction is smaller as it represents a smaller portion of the whole.

1/8 or 1/5 or 1/6 or 1/10 any thing that is bigger than 4, (the denominator, bottom number of the fraction)


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


Why multiplying a number by a fraction less than 1 will give you a smaller product than your first factor?

Not necessarily. -1/2 is a fraction which is less than 1.-10 * -1/2 = 5, a product which is bigger than -10.


When multiplying a fraction by a fraction why do you get a smaller fraction?

Fractions are just numbers. If you multiply a number by one, you get the same number. If you multiply a number by a number smaller than 1, you get a smaller number. If you multiply a number by a number bigger than one, you get a larger number. Dealing with fractions doesn't really tell you anything about the result of your operations.1 = 1/1 = 2/2 = 50/50 = etc.5 = 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = etc2 = 4/2 = 8/4 = 12/6Fractions are just a form of representing a number. Sometimes they are simpler to visualize than long decimals, such as .555555555. But that decimal number is the same as 5/9, a nice and simple expression in fraction form. And you can usually multiply a fraction in your head, versus a decimal. What is .1818181818 * .25? Well its the same as 2/11 * 1/4 which is 2/44 or 1/22.An example of a non-decreasing fraction multiply is:1*2 = 1/1 * 2/1 = 2/1 = 2. 2 > 1, so this is a simple (and trivial) example of not getting a smaller fraction. You only get a smaller fraction when you multiply by values smaller than one. A fraction that is smaller than one is the denominator being larger than the numerator (1/2 or 12/28828 or whatever).Hope this clears up any confusions!Additional answerIf you substitute the word 'of' for 'times' in the sentence 'what is 4 times 5?' then you get 'what is 4 of 5?' = 20. If you say 'what is half of eight' then it is obviously 4 (which is smaller), thus answering your question.
