Any fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator (improper fraction.) 3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2.
Yes. For example, 2/3 is greater than 1/3. After reducing to the GCD, the fraction with the larger numerator is the larger number.

To express 240 as a fraction of 160, you would divide 240 by 160. This simplifies to 3/2 or 1 1/2 in mixed number form. This means that 240 is 1 1/2 times larger than 160.
1/3 is the same as 5/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 5 2/5 is the same as 6/15 by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by 3 6/15 is larger than 5/15 so 2/5 is larger than 1/3. 2/5 is larger than 1/3.
Any fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator (improper fraction.) 3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2.
No. If you convert both to 15ths, 2/5 is 6/15, while 1/3 is 5/15. So 2/5 is larger. Another way to tell which fraction is larger is to cross-multiply. The fraction with the numerator which gives the larger product when multiplied by the other denominator is the larger one. So if you multiply the 2 from 2/5 with the 3 from 1/3, you get 6. If you multiply the 1 from 1/3 with the 5 from 2/5, you get five. So 6 is larger than 5, meaning that 2/5 is larger.
An improper fraction is a fraction where the top number, numerator, is larger than the bottom, denominator.1 2/3= 5/3
One seventh is larger than one eighth. The smaller the number under a 1 in a fraction, the larger that fraction is. Think 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and you'll see the size of the fraction increasing; the numbers are becoming larger.
The answer includes an infinite number of fractions, but the simple way to get a larger fraction is to increase the size of the numerator, or decrease the size of the denominator, so 3/7 is larger than 2/7, and 2/6 (which reduces to 1/3) is larger than 2/7.
Yes. For example, 2/3 is greater than 1/3. After reducing to the GCD, the fraction with the larger numerator is the larger number.
2/3
One half. Put them into like denominators and you will see (1/2)* 3/3 = 3/6 vs (1/3)* 2/2 = 2/6. Three sixths is large than two sixths therefore one half is larger
It depends on what you are doing with the fractions. Assuming that the entire fraction is the same sign as its numerator, if multiplied or divided, the answer would be negative. If the fraction is being added, it would depend upon which fraction is larger. The larger fraction will transfer its sign to the answer. When subtracted, it depends on which fraction is negative. Examples of multiplication: (1/2)x(-1/4)= -1/8 Division: (1/2)/(-1/4)= -2 Addition: (1/2)+(-1/4)= 1/4 Subtraction Ex. 1: (1/2)-(-1/4)= 3/4 Subtraction Ex. 2: (-1/2)-(1/4)= -3/4 Hope this helps you out.
