This is like solving the folloging inequality (for the unknown numerator):
x/5 > 3
Multiplying both side by five gives you:
x > 15
So the numerator must be greater than 15.

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.
What does the picture look like if the numerator is greater than the denominator?
If the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 5/3 but if the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4

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 does the picture look like if the numerator is great than the denominator?
When the numerator of a fraction is greater than its denominator then it is classed as an improper fraction as in the example of 5/3
What is a fraction with a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator?
It is a top-heavy, or improper fraction but only if the denominator is positive.It is not defined if the denominator is 0 and the numerator is any positive integer.It need not be an improper fraction if the denominator is negative and the numerator is positive - and therefore greater - but of a smaller magnitude.For example, consider 2/(-3): the numerator = 2 is bigger than denominator = -3, but the fraction is not improper.
How does the situation change if the numerator is less than the denominator?
If the numerator is less than the denominator then it is a common fraction as for example 3/4 and if the numerator is greater than the denominator then it is an improper fraction as for example 6/4
What is meaning of proper fraction?
A proper fraction is when the numerator is less than the denominator as for example 3/4 whereas an improper fraction is when the numerator is greater than the denominator as for example 7/2
How do we know if a fraction is less than 1?
A fraction is less than 1 when its denominator is greater than its numerator as for example 3/4
What fraction is greater 2 4 or 2 3?
The numerators are the same. Since the first denominator is greater the first fraction is smaller.
When the numerators are the same but have different denominator which fraction is the largest?
The one with the smaller number in the denominator. 3/4 is greater than 3/8
What is a whole fraction?
A whole fraction is when the numerator is the same as the denominator as for example 3/3 = 1 A common fraction is when the numerator is less than the denominator as for example 4/5 An improper fraction is when the numerator is greater than the denominator as for example 7/2
