Any fraction with numerator = 1 and denominator > 2.
Suppose numerator = 1 and denominator = n where n > 2
then 1/2 - 1/n = n/(2n) - 2/(2n) = (n-2)/(2n)
Since n>2 the numerator of the above answer is positive nad the denominator (= 2n) is also positive so the difference between the two fractoins is positive.
That is, 1/2 > 1/n or, equivalently, 1/n is less than 1/2.

What are regular fractions?
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.
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.
What are the different forms of fractions?
1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.
When adding two fractions that are both less than one half what must be true of the sum?
When adding two fractions that are both less than one half, the sum will always be less than one. Specifically, if both fractions are positive, their sum will be less than one because the maximum possible value for the sum is one half plus one half, which equals one. Therefore, the sum of two fractions each less than one half will be less than one.
Are mixed numbers less than proper fractions?
No.
What are regular fractions?
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.
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
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 a number line help us think about fractions greater than 1 and less than 0?
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Are all fractions are less than one?
No, improper fractions (ex: 3/2) are greater than one.
What are the different forms of fractions?
1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.
What are all the fractions that are less than one third?
nothing is less than one third
Are mixed numbers less than proper fractions?
No.
Are proper fractions less than one?
yes

Therefore, the sum of two fractions each less than one half will be less than one.
What are the types of fractions?
The two types of fractions are proper fractions, in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator, and improper fractions, in which the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
