Numerators are whole numbers. SO the answer is 0, -1, and so on : depending on what you consider to be "close to".
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 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.
Numerators
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
Fractions that are close to 1 whole are those with numerators just slightly less than or equal to their denominators. Examples include 7/8, 9/10, and 15/16. These fractions represent values that are near 1 but not quite there, with their decimal equivalents being 0.875, 0.9, and 0.9375, respectively.
Well, honey, any two fractions with a numerator less than their denominator will have a sum less than 1. For example, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6, which is less than 1. So, just keep those numerators in check and you'll be good to go.
Yes, it is. They have the same denominator, so you can compare the numerators.
Fractions that are less than one are known as proper fractions. Their denominators are greater than their numerators. Their reciprocals would have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than one.
One fifth is less than two sixths.1/5 = 6/302/6 = 10/30Convert the fractions to the form with the same denominator, then compare the numerators.
The fraction with the greater denominator is less. For example, 1/2 is greater than 1/3 while 1/3 has the greater denominator.
if its a whole number times a fraction you put a line and a denominator of 1. then, multiply the denominators with each other and numerators with each other
7/8 is pretty close (less than .1% approximation)
