Is a whole number bigger than a friaction?
No. For any given fraction, you can find whole numbers that are more than, and whole numbers that are less than, the fraction. For example, if your fraction is 5/2 (equal to 2 1/2), 2 is less, and 3 is more, than this fraction.
Is the product of a fraction less than one and a whole number less than or greater than the whole number?
It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than one will the quotient be greater than or less than the whole number?
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1 will the quotient be greater or less than the whole number?
Generally, the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction will be greater than that whole number, because division is simply multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. For instance: 2 / (1/2) = 2 * (2/1)
What is a fraction that is less than one whole?
1/2
