If the signs of the numerator and denominator are different then the fraction is less than 0 and, therefore, obviously less than one half.If the signs are the same then if the absolute value of the numerator is less than or equal to half the absolute value of the denominator, then the fraction is less than or equal to one half.Algebraically,p/q
A proper fraction is defined as a fraction that is less than one.
Yes, ALWAYS. Think of it this way... If you had 1/2 a pie and you wanted just a FRACTION of it, that's less than the 1/2 you started with.
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 11/36 is equal to 0.305 recurring (that is, 0.305555...) Expressed as a decimal fraction, 2/3 is equal to 0.6 recurring (that is, 0.6666...) Therefore, 11/36 is less than 2/3.
You can tell if a fraction is less than 1% if the denominator of the fraction has its decimal place moved to the right 2 times and is less than the numerator it is less than 1 percent.
No. For any given fraction, you can find whole numbers that are more than, and whole numbers that are less than, the fraction. For example, if your fraction is 5/2 (equal to 2 1/2), 2 is less, and 3 is more, than this fraction.

Round them off. If the fraction is less than 1/2 (the numerator is less than half of the denominator), eliminate it. If the fraction is equal to or greater than 1/2 (the numerator is equal to or greater than half the denominator), increase the whole number by one and eliminate the fraction. The estimated sum of 2 and 1/3 + 3 and 3/4 is 6.

-2 is less than 2
Yes, ALWAYS. Think of it this way... If you had 1/2 a pie and you wanted just a FRACTION of it, that's less than the 1/2 you started with.

2/3, 3/4
You can tell if a fraction is less than 1% if the denominator of the fraction has its decimal place moved to the right 2 times and is less than the numerator it is less than 1 percent.
Yes, a fraction less than 1 will always have a numerator that is less than its denominator. This is because the value of a fraction decreases as the numerator gets smaller in relation to the denominator. For example, 1/2 is smaller than 3/2 or 4/2.
The approximate way to determine if a fraction is equal to one is to see if the denominator and the numerator are the same. for and example 1/1 2/2 3/3 etc. Those paticular numbers are equal to one. Determining less than or greater than 1 is a whole other story.
If the numerator (top number) is greater than the denominator (bottom number), the fraction will be greater than one. Example: 7/5 can be displayed as 1 and 2/5. If the numerator and denominator are equal, the fraction will reduce to one. Example: 9/9 reduces to 1. If the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction will be less than one. Example: 8/9 is less than 9/9 (which reduces to 1).
