Is three fourths greater than or less than one?

Answer 1

No because to get one whole, you have to have four complete fourths; and scince 3/4 is not four complete wholes it is not one to make it one whole, add one more fourth to three fourths to get 4/4=1 whole. Note: you can make one whole out of any denominator, just have an equal numerator, it's like saying I have one Pizza with five slices and none eaten which equals five slices of the five slices of pizza eaten which means you still have a WHOLE pizza left which equals 5/5 of pizza. Examples of a whole in fractions: 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4 extetera, extetera. So three fourths is not one because it is not the all of the slices left, some one ate one slice, talk about a waste of your pizza! :)
