A fraction that is greater than one fifth (1/5) and less than one half (1/2) is one third (1/3). This is because one third is approximately 0.333, which is greater than 0.2 (one fifth) and less than 0.5 (one half). Another example of such a fraction is three tenths (3/10).
8 and one fifth less than 10 and one half = 2 3/10 10 1/2 - 8 1/5 = 2 (5 - 2)/10 = 2 3/10
One half.
1/3
3/4
8 and one fifth less than 10 and one half = 2 3/10 10 1/2 - 8 1/5 = 2 (5 - 2)/10 = 2 3/10
One half is five tenths. One fifth is two tenths. One half less one fifths is five tenths less two tenths, or three tenths. .5 - .2 = .3
-2.5?
if the number above the bottom number is smaller than half of the bottom number, the fraction is less than half. For example, say the fraction is 3/8, half of the bottom number is 4. 3 is smaller than 4 therefore the fraction is less than half.
One half.
A third is less than a half, if that's what you meant
1/3

One half minus one fifth is 3 tenths
less than. 1/2 = 0.5, 17/3 = 5.667 0.5 is less than 5.667
Half (1/2 or .5) is greater than 3/7 (.429...)
