Which is greater 2 over 5 or 3 over 5?
When you see those fractions on paper and you read them, you say "two fifths" and "three fifths". When you hear that, you immediately realize that three of anything is always greater than two of the same thing.
Which fraction is greater 1 over 3 or 2 over 3?
2/3 is greater than 1/3. The two fractions have the same denominator, therefore the greater their numerator the greater is its value.. Also, 2/3 = 0.6667 while 1/3 = 0.3333.
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.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than one?
A fraction is greater than one if the the top number (numerator) is greater than the lower number (denominator).
