1/4,1/8,1/16...
a quarter or one fourth or 0.25 are all the same thing and are thess than one half. But many other nuumbers and fractions are also less than one half.
2/3 x 3/5
If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.
In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.

2/3 x 3/5
The possibilities of the division of numbers are infinite. Like colors, numbers are endless. Examples of fractions less than half are 1/3, 1/4, 1/16, 2/16, 3/16 etc.
If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.
In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
you round fractions by rounding up or down, you can decide to do this when you look at the numerator and decide if it is half of the denominator, if it is half or more than half, you round up. If it is less than half you round down. Another way you can round fractions is dividing the top number by the bottom number (with a calculator), then if the decimal part is 5 or more, round up! (if the decimal is less than 5, round down.)
0.5
Any fraction with a numerator of one and a denominator greater than two.
If the fraction is less than half, round down. If the fraction is half or greater, round up.
Fractions smaller than 1/2 are any fractions where the numerator is less than the denominator. For example, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and so on are all smaller than 1/2. This is because when the numerator is smaller than the denominator, the value of the fraction is less than one-half.
