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.
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.)
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.
What are the fractions less than one half?
There are tons of fractions that are less than 1/2. For example, there's 1/3,1/4,1/5,2/5,1/6,2/6,1/7,2/7,3/7,1/8,2/8,3/8,1/9,2/9,3/9,4/9,1/10,2/10,3/10,4/10 etc.
Why is the quotient of two fractions less than either fraction?
There can be no reason because your assertion is not true.For example, 1/6 and 1/2 are both fractions less than one. But their quotient is (1/6)/(1/2) = (1/6)*(2/1) = 2/6 = 1/3. And that is not more than 1/2.
