Is negative 1 greater than or less than negative 1 over 2?
-1 is less than -1/2.
What is 0.5 as a mixed number in simplest form?
Decimals less than one can't be expressed as mixed number and so 0.5 as a fraction is 1/2 in its simplest form
Is 2 feet greater than or less than 1 yard?

How do you use decimals?
Decimals are there to show you a fraction. For example, 1 1/2 is the same as the decimal 1.5. It just shows you how close you are to a whole number in a different way than a fraction.
Why when you multiply decimals the product of the numbers gets smaller?
Yes, when any number is multiplied by a decimal, as long as the decimal is less than 1, the product is smaller that that number (assuming we are just dealing with positive numbers) An example is 5 times .4, which equals 2. 2 is less than 5. Another example, this time where both numbers are decimals, is .3 times .1 which equals .03. .03 is smaller that both .3 and .1. The reason it gets smaller is because by multiplying by a decimal, you are trying to get a fraction of the number, which will always be less than that number. For example, 3 times .5 = 1.5. Here, the result is a fraction (1/2) of three.
True or False the sum of 2 decimals less than 1 is always less than 1?
false 0.6+0.6=1.2>1
Is the product of 2 decimals less than one is less than either of the factor all the time?
Yes.
Is 1 over4 less than 0.5?
Convert to same format and can compare: 1) To decimals: 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25 < 0.5 2) To fractions: 0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2 = 2/4 > 1/4 → Yes, 1/4 is less than 0.5
Is 4 39ths less than one half?
1/2 is the same as 19.5/39, which is more than 4/39. (Don't use decimals in fractions, this was an example.)
Is 1 more or less than 2?
2 is more than 1.
What is 2 less than 1?
2 less than 1 would equal -1.
Is negative 1 greater than or less than negative 1 over 2?
-1 is less than -1/2.
Is one-fifth less than two-eigths?
1/5 = .20 (in decimals) & 2/8 = .25So, Yes, 1/5 < 2/8 (as we can directly see above by conversion into decimals)!Alternative method: Make the denominator's same --->(1/5) * (8/8) = 8/40and, (2/8) * (5/5) = 10/40So, clearly, 2/8 > 1/5!
What is 0.5 as a mixed number in simplest form?
Decimals less than one can't be expressed as mixed number and so 0.5 as a fraction is 1/2 in its simplest form
Is 1 4 less than 1 2?
1/4 is less than 1/2. 1/4 is half of 1/2.
Is 2 over five greater than or less than 1 over 2?
2/5 is less than 1/2 which is the same as 0.4 is less than 0.5
What 2 decimals make the sum greater than 1?
3.5 and 7.9846 are two. Their sum is 11.4846 is greater than 1.
