because a fraction usually is less than a value of 1. unless of course, its an improper fraction.
Example: 7/10 is equal to .70 which is less than 1
1/1 is equal to 1.0
therfore, the fraction is smaller than the value of 1
o for heavens sake -
you have one whole thing and you are cutting it up into smaller pieces therefore you have more pieces....and the answer looks bigger - ie you have one whole dollar and you divide it by 1/10 (dimes) now you have 10 dimes
It is the first whole number divided by the denominator of the unit fraction. This could be a whole number or a fraction.
a smaller fraction! eg 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20
an improper fraction is a fraction is were the numerator (top number) is bigger than the denominator (bottom number) e.g. 8/2
ANY number divided by itself is ' 1 '.

You can make a fraction that is bigger, or smaller, than a mixed number.
The answer is always bigger than one only if the fraction you are dividing by is smaller than the fraction you are dividing into. Any number divided by a smaller number is bigger than 1. To divide fractions you invert he demominator and multiply: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 1/2 times 4 = 2
Not necessarily. When you divide by a fraction, the answer can be bigger than both of them. 6 ÷ 1/5 = 30
The fraction is known as a mixed fraction.
an improper fraction
In a fraction the denominator is divided into the numerator which is above the denominator
a proper fraction
0.008
An Improper Fraction is when the top number is bigger than the bottom number
