1 tenth
1 eleventh
and so on.
1 eighth would be bigger
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.
Before one ninth (1/9) in terms of fractions is zero, which can be represented as 0/1 or any equivalent fraction like 0/9. If you're referring to the number line, it would be any value less than 1/9, such as 1/10 or 0.01.
When both fractions are less than 1, their values are represented by numbers between 0 and 1. Dividing one fraction by another (where both are less than 1) effectively involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator, which is greater than 1. This means the quotient will yield a result that is larger than either of the original fractions. Thus, the quotient of two fractions, both less than 1, will always be greater than either fraction.
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.

Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Proper fractions.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.

To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.
If you multiply by 1 they stay the same. If you multiply by more than 1 they increase. Fractions less than 1 are less than unity so the products decrease because you are only taking a fraction of the number.
It is less than two thirds.
