How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
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.
Why is reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 is always greater than 1?
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.
When will the quotient of two fractions less than 1 be greater than either fraction?
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
What fraction is less than 25?
Well, technically any fraction less than 25 can be expressed as a numerator over 25, so the answer would be any fraction in the form of a/b where a is less than 25 and b is any number greater than 1. But seriously, why are we limiting ourselves to fractions less than 25? Live a little and embrace all the fractions out there!
How do you turn a fraction into an inproper fraction?
Proper fractions are less than 1. Improper fractions are greater than 1. For a proper fraction to become an improper fraction, you would have to add a quantity that would make it greater than 1.
Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than both?
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
How can a number line help us think about fractions greater than 1 and less than 0?
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.
What fractions is less then 1 over 2?
1/3
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
Which is less than 0.65in fractions?
1/2, 1/4
Why do numbers get smaller when multiplied by fractions less than 1?
If you multiply by 1 they stay the same. If you multiply by more than 1 they increase. Fractions less than 1 are less than unity so the products decrease because you are only taking a fraction of the number.
Can be the improper fractions less than 1?
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.
What fractions are smaller than 1 over 8?
1 over 16
What fraction is less than 2 over 7?
1 over 7 Many fractions can be less than 2/7. If you're looking for any ol' answer, you can decrease the 2 to 1 to get 1/7 or increase the 7 to 8 to get 2/8 (or 1/4).
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is less than 1?
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
When multiplying proper fractions why is the product less than the both factors?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Any positive number multiplied by a positive number less 1 will be less than itself. In multiplying two proper fractions, each one is being multiplied by a number less than 1.
