There are 9 ninths in a unit - seven ninths is less than nine ninths, so 7/9 <1
To visualise it, try this:
Cut a Pizza into nine equal slices - if they are not equal, pretend they are.
If you take seven of these nine slices, you have seven ninths of a pizza. Is that not less than the whole ONE?

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).
7/12 is greater than 1/2 (1/2 = 6/12).
yes, 7 over 8 is less that 1 over 2. 1 over 2 is .5, 50% or 1/2. if you have a pizza (and 1 person to share with) and you cut it in half, you and your friend get more of the pizza than if you would cut it into 8 slices and you (and 6 others) eat 7 slices.
The absolute value of 4 over 7 is less than 1 and so there is no mixed number for it.
Less than.
