Is nine fourteenths greater or less than one half?

Answer 1

Nine fourteenths is equal to 0.64, i.e. more than half.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY: 7/14 would be exactly half, correct?

And 9/14 is more than 7/14! So 9/14 must be greater than half.

Think of it this way too, get a calculator and divide nine by 14 and tell us all if the answer is bigger that zero point FIVE or 9/14 is bigger then a half because 7/14 is equal to a half and 9/14 is bigger then 7/14
