When you divide a unit fraction ( less than 1) by a whole number is the quotion larger or smaller than the fraction?
The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.
When does multiplying by a fraction give an answer that is larger than that original answer?
A fraction can be larger than 1, for example, 4/2 is a fraction (which can be simplified to 2). Only a fraction that is larger than 1, multiplied by another number gives you a larger number.
When you divide a unit fraction less than 1 by a whole number is the quotient larger or smaller than the fractions?
The answer depends on the sign of the numbers.(1/4) / 3 = 1/12, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 3 = -1/1, which is larger.
Is a fraction a unit fraction?
No, every fraction is not a unit fraction because unit fraction must have 1 as numerator but every unit fraction is a fraction such as 2/3 is a fraction but not considered a unit fraction and 1/3 which is a unit fraction is also called fraction
When you divide a unit fraction by a whole number will the quotient be greater than or less than the unit fraction?
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
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 quotient larger than the dividend when dividing by a unit fraction?
Rules for dividing by a fraction are multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a unit fraction is a whole number. Multiplying by a whole number will make the answer (quotient) larger. ex unit fraction 1/a 7 divided by 1/a = 7 x a/1 = 7a .... a times larger than 7.

What type of fraction is larger than 1?
an improper fraction

Why cant you have the greatest fraction be less than 1?
You can have fractions larger than 1. For example, 9/8 is a fraction that is larger than 1, as is 100000000000000000000000/3. Thus, the greatest possible fraction in the universe is greater than 1.

When you divide a unit fraction by a whole number will the quotient be greater than or less than the unit fraction?
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
What fraction is more than 1?
Any fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator (improper fraction.) 3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2.
What is the relationship to the number 1 if the numerator is larger than the denominator of the fraction?
The number (the fraction) is greater than one.
What fraction is more than 1 2?
Any fraction larger than 1/2 like 5/8 or 7/11.
