When you are dividing two fractions how come your answer is bigger than 1?
The answer is always bigger than one only if the fraction you are dividing by is smaller than the fraction you are dividing into. Any number divided by a smaller number is bigger than 1. To divide fractions you invert he demominator and multiply: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 1/2 times 4 = 2
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 fractions are less than 1 ninth?
1 tenth 1 eleventh and so on. 1 eighth would be bigger
Is one third bigger than two fifths?
When you have your two fractions you multiply the denominators to get the common denominator. So you would do 3x5=15, 15 is the common denominator. Now you cross multiply. you do 3x2=6 then 5x1=5. Now you have 5 fifteenths and 6 fifteenths. 5 fifteenths belongs to 1 third and 6 fifteenths belongs to 2 fifths. So now you can see that 2 FIFTHS is BIGGER than 1 third. ==================================== Or you could just convert the fractions into decimal form and see which one is bigger. 1/3 = 0.3333 2/5 = 0.4 <=== This one is bigger than 0.3333.
Which is bigger 1 over 2 and 1 over 3 fractions?

What are three rules you can use to compare fractions?
Rule #1 When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator. Rule # 2 When comparing fractions that have the same numerator, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator. Rule # 3 You can convert the fractions and then just put the greater than, less than or equal to sign to see what the comparison is between the fractions.
Is 34 bigger than 13?
Yes, 34 is a bigger number than 13. It represents more than 13, but in fractions, 13 is a bigger number. 1/13 is bigger than 1/34. So here is the answer: In positive numbers, yes. In fractions, no. In negative numbers, no.
Are fractions bigger than negative numbers?

Is 8 over 56 bigger than 1 over 7?
8/56 = 4/28 = 2/14 = 1/7 So the two fractions are equal
When you multiply two fractions why is the product smaller than the fractions?
if 1/2 x 1/3 then times it and get 1/6
Is one third bigger than two fifths?
When you have your two fractions you multiply the denominators to get the common denominator. So you would do 3x5=15, 15 is the common denominator. Now you cross multiply. you do 3x2=6 then 5x1=5. Now you have 5 fifteenths and 6 fifteenths. 5 fifteenths belongs to 1 third and 6 fifteenths belongs to 2 fifths.
