Any fraction with a numerator greater than 12 would be greater than 1/12. This includes fractions such as 2/12 (which simplifies to 1/6), 3/12 (which simplifies to 1/4), and so on. As long as the numerator is greater than 12, the fraction will be greater than 1/12.
7 over 12, 1 over 2 is the same and .5. 7 over than 12 is one-twelfth greater than one half.
If the numerator (the top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number) then the fraction is greater than 1 If the denominator is greater than the numerator, then the fraction is less than 1
No. Every proper fraction is less than 1, but improper fraction will be greater than 1.
I do not know what a " benchmark " fraction is, so I just use like denominators to compare different fractions. 60 will have to do here. 12*2/12*5 and 5*7/5*12 24/60 and 35/60 from this we can see that 7/12 is greater than 2/5 7/12 > 2/5 --------------- 1/2 is a benchmark fraction. Since 7/12 is greater than 1/2 and 2/5 is less than 1/2, 7/12 must be greater than 2/5.
