There are an infinite number of fractions which are greater than 1/3. 1/2 for example. Here is one way to visualize it: Take a graph paper and find the point (3,1). Yes x=3 and y=1. Draw a line from the origin to this point. That line has a slope of 1/3 [rise/run]. Now any line you draw from the origin to a point in Quadrant I which is above this line will have a slope steeper than 1/3. So say we draw from the origin to (2,1). The slope is 1/2 and the line is above the 1/3 line. Try 3/8 [the point is (8,3)], or 5/12 [point is (12,5)]. The y coordinate is the numerator and x coordinate is denominator for these examples.

Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
When fractions have like denominators the larger the what the larger the fraction?
When you have fractions with like denominators, the larger is the one with the larger numerator.
What is larger one third or two sevenths?
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, one third is about 0.33, and two sevenths is around 0.29. Clearly, 0.33 is bigger than 0.29, so one third is larger than two sevenths. Math can be fun, right?
Is a one third larger than one ninth?
yes one third is bigger than one ninth... if you multiply the numerato by the numerator and the denominator by the denometer one third is equivalent to 3/9
Is one third greater or less then one fourth?
One-third is greater than one-fourth. With simple fractions, imagine it's a pie. Cut it into 3, you'll get a bigger piece than cutting it into 4.
