How can you tell whether a fraction is greater than or less than 1?
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
What is true when the numerator is greater than the denominator?
Nothing, other than the fact that the numertaor is greater than the denominator.-3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive proper fraction.3 is greater than -4 and 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative proper fraction. 3 is greater than -2 and 3/(-2) = -3/2 is a negative improper fraction. 4 is greater than 3 and 4/3 is a positive improper fraction. Thus, the fraction can be negative or positive, proper or improper.
Which fraction is greater if the two fractions have the same numerators annd different denomintors?
The fraction with the greater denominator is less. For example, 1/2 is greater than 1/3 while 1/3 has the greater denominator.
What is fraction notation?
A fraction has a numerator set above its denominator If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4 which as a decimal is 0.75 If the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 5/4 which as a decimal is 1.25
When the numerator is greater than the denominator what is it called?
There is no specific name. -3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive proper fraction. 3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/4 = -3/4 is a negative proper fraction. 3 is greater than -2 and 3/(-2) = -3/2 is a negative improper fraction. 4 is greater than 3 and 4/3 is a positive improper fraction. Thus, the fraction can be negative or positive, proper or improper.
