How do you compare two fractions whose numerators are the same?
If the fractions have the same numerator (top number), then the fraction with the larger denominator (bottom number) is the smaller fraction, which implies that the fraction with the smaller denominator is the larger fraction. For example with 1/2 and 1/4, it can be easily seen that 1/2 is the larger of the two.
How do you find out which fraction is larger?
Multiply each numerator by the opposite denominator, otherwise known as cross multiply. Then compare these two products and determine which one is larger. The fraction that contributed the numerator (top number) to the larger product is the larger fraction. For example: Which is larger, 2/5 or 3/4? Multiply 2 X 4 = 8 Multiply 3 X 5 = 15 Determine that 15 is larger than 8. Determine that the fraction 3/4 contributed the numerator (top number) to the larger product, 15. So 3/4 is larger than 2/5.
What is the top number called in a fraction?
In a standard fraction, the number on top is the numerator, while the number on the bottom is the denominator.
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 does the top number and the bottem number of a fraction mean?
The top number is the numerator and the bottom number is the denominator.
When the top number of a fraction is larger than the bottom number then that fraction is called?
improper
How do you change twelve eights into an improper fraction?
twelve eighths is already in improper fraction, an improper fraction is a fraction which has a numerator (top number) larger than the denominator (bottom number)

Top number in a fraction?
Top number in a fraction is the numerator.
How do you write a inproper fraction?
An improper fraction is a fraction where the top number, numerator, is larger than the bottom, denominator.1 2/3= 5/3
How do you make an improper fraction?
Make the numerator larger than the denominator.An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. ( the top number is larger than the bottom number)Examples.4/3 , 5/2 , 6/3 etc.
How can you tell just by looking at a fraction that it is greater than1?
If the top number is larger than the bottom number, it is greater than 1.
In fraction what is the number on top?
The number on the top of a fraction is called the numerator. The number on the bottom is the denominator.
Is the numerator in a fraction the whole number or the fraction?
There is no whole number in a fraction. A fraction is a little number on top and another little number on the bottom. The numerator is the little number on top.
What is a fraction that has a top number less than its bottom number?
A proper fraction is a fraction that has a top number less than its bottom number.
How do you find out which fraction is larger?
Multiply each numerator by the opposite denominator, otherwise known as cross multiply. Then compare these two products and determine which one is larger. The fraction that contributed the numerator (top number) to the larger product is the larger fraction. For example: Which is larger, 2/5 or 3/4? Multiply 2 X 4 = 8 Multiply 3 X 5 = 15 Determine that 15 is larger than 8. Determine that the fraction 3/4 contributed the numerator (top number) to the larger product, 15. So 3/4 is larger than 2/5.
How do you tell which fraction is bigger when there are 2 different fractions?
you turn them both into x halves, and the one with more halves is the larger number. Hmm, using a calculator or a piece of paper & a pencil, divide the 'bottom' number of each fraction into its 'top' number. Reading from left to right, compare each division answer digit for digit - whenever one fraction has a larger value, then that is the larger fraction. eg 0.739 is larger than 0.738564321 - but not by much!
