A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.
1/2
It is because an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator of a proper fraction e.g. 3/1, 7/4, 2/1 etc...
2/7
An improper fraction (3/2) greater than (2/2)
A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.
If the numerator (the top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number) then the fraction is greater than 1 If the denominator is greater than the numerator, then the fraction is less than 1
Yes 1/2 is greater than 1/5
1/2
1/2
2/3
It is because an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator of a proper fraction e.g. 3/1, 7/4, 2/1 etc...
Yes, 1/2 is greater than 1/4. 1/2 is equal to 2/4.
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.

An improper fraction (3/2) greater than (2/2)
1/2 = 0.503/13 = 0.23therefore, 1/2 is greater than 3/13.
