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 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 do you round fractions?

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.)

How coule you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is greater than one-half?

In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
