if i am understanding the question right you mean "is a fraction always smaller than a whole number?" the answer is no. for example is twelve thirds(12/3) smaller than 3? no because twelve thirds is actually 4 and 4 is greater than 3.

A fraction is a mathematical expression representing a part of a whole, consisting of a numerator and a denominator. When the numerator is smaller than the denominator, the fraction is considered a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the value of the fraction is less than 1, indicating that the part being represented is smaller than the whole.
it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25
The quotient is always greater than the whole number. Why? Because it takes more to add up a smaller number than a bigger number. I hope this makes sense.. I'm really stupid XD
The fraction with the smaller denominator has fewer pieces in the whole. So each piece must be bigger.
