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.

If you compare two fraction with the same denominator the fraction with the greater numerator is greater true or false?
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.
In the fraction ½ one is the numerator true or false?
In a fraction, the numerator is the number on top, whereas the denominator is the number on the bottom. For the fraction 1/2, the numerator is "1", while the denominator is "2".
Is it true to convert a fraction into a decimal number you have to divide the denominator by the numerator?

Is an improper fraction bigger than a proper fraction?
yes. in a "proper" fraction, the numerator (number on top) is smaller than the denominator (number on bottom). in an improper fraction, the numerator is larger than the denominator. e/i: 3/5 is smaller than 7/5. 3/5 is proper, 7/5 is improper. 7/5=1 2/5

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.
Why is the recipical of A fraction less than one is always a fraction greater than one?
Fractions that are less than one are known as proper fractions. Their denominators are greater than their numerators. Their reciprocals would have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than one.
Why is the reciprocal of a fraction less than one always a fraction greater than one?
A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator.

If there is two positive rational numbers the one with the greater denominator is the lesser?
Not at all.6/11 is greater than 1/3 .Your statement is true if both fractions have the same numerator.
What is true about both the numerator and denominator of rational expressions?
Both the numerator and denominator are polynomials
What divided by what equals 25 remainder 7?
The one ting that you can be sure of is that the divisor (denominator) is greater than 7. Given any denominator D, which is greater than 7, the numerator, N, is 25*D+7. And that is true for the infinitely many possible values for D.
