How can you use fractions to compare two decimals when both are in hundredths?
You can write any two-digit decimal as a fraction by putting it over 100 but it's an unnecessary step. 0.39 is greater than 0.27 39/100 is greater than 27/100
Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than both?
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.

That is correct.
