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?
Well, firstly, the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of 3 and 7 is 21. Try to convert those fractions into fractions with denominators of 21. Multiply 3x7 in one thirds and 1x7, which changes one third to seven twenty-oneths. Multiply 7x3 in two sevenths and 2x3, which changes two sevenths to six twenty-oneths. Therefore, one third (seven twenty-oneths) is greater than two sevenths (six twenty-oneths).
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.
Is one third larger than one fourth?
yes. When you are working with fractions like this, the smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction.
What are all the fractions that are less than one third?
nothing is less than one third
What fraction is larger one third or one fifteenth?
one third is larger than one fifth
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.
Which one is bigger one third or 0.4?
0.4 is larger than one third (0.3333)
Is 33 larger than one third?
Yes 33 is larger than 1/3
Why is the number larger when you divide fractions?
Because it's the same as multiplying the inverse. Dividing something by one third is the same as multiplying it by three. The number will get larger.
Is one third larger than four sevenths?
No.
What fraction is larger?
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
How much larger is one fourth than one third?
a fourth is 8% smaller then a third
What is one third of twenty four fractions?
Eight fractions is.
What fraction is larger 2 fifths or 1 third and why?
Make them equivalent fractions with the same denominator then compare the numerators: 2/5 = 2x3/5x3 = 6/15 1/3 = 1x5/3x5 = 5/15 Two fifths is larger than one third as two fifths is equivalent to six fifteenths whereas one third is only equivalent to five fifteenths which is smaller than six fifteenths.
