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.

What fraction is less then 12?
11/12, 2/3, 6/7, 1/11, 11/1 are some examples of fractions smaller that 12
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
What fraction is smaller than 1 4?
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)
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.
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.
What is a fraction bigger than 12 but smaller than 34?
15 1/2 is bigger than 12 but smaller than 34.
What fraction is less then 12?
11/12, 2/3, 6/7, 1/11, 11/1 are some examples of fractions smaller that 12
What fraction is less than 1 over 10?
Increase the denominator, the number on the bottom of the fraction. 1/11 is smaller for example, 1/12 is smaller again. Etc..
What is the state of the fraction to the number 1?
1 as a fraction is 1/1 or 12/12 or 199/199. when you divide the top number by the bottom you get 1. if you had 11/12 it is 11 divided by 12 or 0.9166666. smaller than 1 13/12 is 1.083333. larger than 1
What is a smaller fraction than 14?
13 1/2 is a smaller fraction.
What fractions are smaller than 1 over 10?
Fractions smaller than 1/10 are any fractions where the numerator is less than 1. These include fractions such as 1/11, 1/12, 1/100, and so on. Essentially, any fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator will be smaller than 1/10.
What fractions is smaller than 1 over 8?
Fractions smaller than 1/8: 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 1/13 1/14 1/15 1/16... You get the idea. Just keep increasing the denominator, because any fraction with a numerator of one but denominator that is greater than the fraction you're comparing it to will be smaller in value than that fraction.
Is the fraction 34 smaller than 45?
34 is not a fraction, neither is 45. but 3/4 is smaller than 4/5 and 1/34 is smaller than 1/45 and 0.34 is smaller than 0.45...
How do you find if the fraction is smaller than 1 or not?
If the numerator is less than the denominator then the fraction is less than 1.
What will happen if you divide a fraction?
