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.
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.
adding and subtracting fractions is what it means. also it is definitions
If the fraction is less than half, round down. If the fraction is half or greater, round up.

if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.

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.
You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.

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.)

2/3 x 3/5
If the fraction is less than half, round down. If the fraction is half or greater, round up.
If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.
