Fraction less than one?

A fraction less than one is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. For example, 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 are all fractions less than one. These fractions represent a part of a whole that is smaller than the whole.


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.


Why is the reciprocal of a fraction less than one always a fraction greater than one?

A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.


Is 4 39ths less than one half?

1/2 is the same as 19.5/39, which is more than 4/39. (Don't use decimals in fractions, this was an example.)


What fractions are greater than one third but less than one quarter?

There are no fractions that are greater than one-third and less than one-quarter. In fact, one-third (1/3) is greater than one-quarter (1/4). Therefore, any fraction that falls strictly between these two values is not possible.
