-1 as a denominator changes the sign of the fractions. 1/-2 is the same as -(1/2).

When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator it is?
The absolute value of the numerator of a fraction is less than the absolute value of the denominator if and only if the fraction is between -1 and 1.
What is a denumerator?
"Denumerator" is the incorrect but commonly substituted spelling of "denominator". A denominator is the term in the lower part of a fraction, the value by which the numerator is divided. For example, the denominator of 1/2 is 2, and the numerator is 1.
What pattern do you notice in a fraction that is equivalent to 1 whole?
The numerator and denominator are equal to the same value.
Is an integer a number that is a fraction?
An integer is a number that is the quotient of an integer in the numerator and 1 in the denominator. For instance: n / 1 = n is an integer We can think of "integer" as "the value in the denominator divides the value in the numerator". This also gives the integer. For instance: 18 / 2 = 9.
When you add or subtract fractions why doesn't the denominator change?
Because the denominator does not express a value, only the size of the parts being added or subtracted. You can think of integers as fractions with a denominator of 1. At any rate, 1/3 plus 1/3 = 2/3, as you can see with any sliced pizza. When you multiply fractions, the denominator is telling you to change the size of those parts, so that 1/2 of 1/3 is 1/6.
What are the numerator and denominator relationships for one half?
the value of the denominator is twice that of the numerator (i.e. 1/2, 2/4, 3/6). Or, in other words, the numerator value is "half" that of the denominator value.
How do you know if fractions are integers?
Fractions are integers when their denominator is 1 or when the numerator has the same value as the denominator.
When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator it is?
The absolute value of the numerator of a fraction is less than the absolute value of the denominator if and only if the fraction is between -1 and 1.
Is a comparison of two measurements in which the denominator has a value of one unit?
a comparison of 2 measuremens in which the denominator is 1
What is a comparison of two measurement in which the denominator has a value of one unit?
a comparison of 2 measuremens in which the denominator is 1
Which fraction are equal to 1?
Anything where the numerator and the denominator are the same value.
What is the value of a fraction when the numerator and denominator are the same?
It is 1 as for example 2/2 = 1
What is it called when the numerator and the denominator is one?
It is a ratio whose value is 1.
What is a denumerator?
"Denumerator" is the incorrect but commonly substituted spelling of "denominator". A denominator is the term in the lower part of a fraction, the value by which the numerator is divided. For example, the denominator of 1/2 is 2, and the numerator is 1.
How do you find the denominator of a fraction if you know the numerator and the value?
Denominator = Numerator/Value
Why must you always be mindful of the final value of the denominator in a rational expression?
The value of the denominator cannot be zero.
What part of the fraction has a value of one or greater?
the numerator. if 1 is the denominator, (lets say 2 is the numerator), then it wouldn't be just 2/1 but 2. so the lowest the denominator can b is two (1/2)
