What else can I help you with?
If two fractions have the same numerator but different denominators is the fraction with the greater denominator greater than or less than the fraction with the lesser denominator?
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!
Can the numerator be higher than the denominator?
It most certainly can.
Is eight tenths greater than six tenths?
Yes. Look at the denominator (10). If the denominators of both fractions are equal than go with the higher numerator as the greater number
What do you do if the numerator is higher than the denominator?
you can leave it as an improper fraction OR you can divide the denominator INTO the numerator and end up with a mixed number EXAMPLE: 26/15 = 1 11/15
What are improper fractions?
An improper fraction is a fraction with the numerator (the top number) being higher than the denominator (the bottom number). For example, 13/5 is an improper fraction because the top number is greater than the bottom number. To change it to a mixed number (which is a number with a fraction and a whole number), you divide the numerator by the denominator, which = 23/5
How do you change higher term to lower term?
When reducing fractions to their lowest terms divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor
Is 9 over 9 an improper fraction?
Yes. If the numerator (on top) is higher or equal to the denominator (bottom) than its an improper fraction. If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is considered a whole number and always comes out 1. If the numerator is higher than the denominator then you must divide the numerator by the denominator.

How about if the numerator is higher than denominator?
It can be; there is nothing wrong with that!
What are the kinds of fractions?
Proper: Numerator less than denominator. Ex.: 5/8Improper: Numerator equal to or greater than denominator. Ex.: 9/4Mixed: a simplified improper fraction, with a whole number and a proper fraction. Ex.: 6 and 2/3---- There are 5 kinds of fraction. Proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed number, unit fraction, and equivalent fractions. An example of a proper fraction is 3/4. An example of an improper fractions is 13/12. An example of a mixed number is 1 and 1/4. An example of a unit fraction is 1/3. An example of equivalent fractions is 4/8 = 1/2.There are improper fractions which have a numerator with a higher value than the denominator (10/5, 15/7, etc).There are also proper fractions in which the denominator is a higher number than the numerator (4/7, 6/10,etc).There are mixed fractions which are improper fractions written with a number written to the left of the fraction (4 1/3), 10 1/2, etc).
Is eight tenths greater than six tenths?

When the numerator is the same as the denominator is it a proper fraction?
Yes, it's a proper fraction. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is higher than the denominator. Therefore, 4/4 is proper and 4/2 is improper.
How do you know which fraction is greater than the other?
The higher the denominator is larger considering that the numerator is equal.
Can a numerator be higher than a denominator?
Yes it can, this is known as an "improper fraction" and can be converted into a "mixed fraction."
