When fractions have like denominators the larger the what the larger the fraction?
When you have fractions with like denominators, the larger is the one with the larger numerator.
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
Which is larger a proper fraction or mixed numeral?
Ignoring negative numbers, proper fractions are less than one. Mixed numbers are greater than one.
If 2 fractions have the same numerator but different denominator how can you tell which is greater?
In that case, and assuming both fractions are positive, the one with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction, because you are dividing by a larger number.
What is it called when you make a fraction's numbers larger but the fraction stays the same amount?
the fractions are equivalent
What fraction is larger?
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
When fractions have like denominators the larger the what the larger the fraction?
When you have fractions with like denominators, the larger is the one with the larger numerator.
When fractions have like denominatorsthe larger the what the larger the fraction?
the numerator
When fractions have like denominators the larger the makes the fraction larger?
Numerator.
What is irregular fractions?
an irregular fraction is a fraction where the numenator is larger than the denomenator
Is a mixed number irrational?
no No; a mixed number is rational. Irrational means it cannot be written as a fraction, but mixed numbers can always be written as (improper) fractions. *By the way, improper fractions are still fractions, despite their degrading name! It just means the fraction's numerator is larger than its denominator.
How can you tell which fractions is greater if both fractions have the same numerator?
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
Is the fraction with the greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?
To compare two fractions, you convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then you can compare their numerators (top parts). In that case, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.
How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
How can you compare rational numbers?
Subtract one from the other.If the answer is positive then the first is larger,if the answer is negative, then the second is larger.Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions.
What fractions are less than a third?
any fraction where the denominator is larger than 3
