If one fraction is negative and one is positive, you automatically know that the negative fraction is smaller.
If both fractions are positive and have the same denominator, the one with the smallest numerator is smaller.
If both fractions are negative and have the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is smaller.
If fractions have different denominators, convert the fractions to the same denominator to find which one is smaller. For example:
2/5 and 1/3
2/5 = 6/15
1/3 = 5/15
1/3 is smaller than 2/5.
If the above fractions were negative, -6/15 is less than -5/15.
When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator, that's a proper fraction.
The smaller fraction has the smaller numerator.
A mixed fraction is a fraction with the denominator being smaller than the numerator.
That would be 5/100, a smaller equivalent fraction is 1/20
The fraction becomes smaller: provided the denominator was positive.
The numerator is "much smaller" than the denominator. "Much smaller" is subjective, but then so is "close to" in the question.
When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator, that's a proper fraction.
There is no such fraction, since given any fraction, half of that would be smaller still.There is no such fraction, since given any fraction, half of that would be smaller still.There is no such fraction, since given any fraction, half of that would be smaller still.There is no such fraction, since given any fraction, half of that would be smaller still.
smaller
The bigger the denominator(lowest) the smaller the fraction
13 1/2 is a smaller fraction.
A proper fraction
smaller than the fraction you started with.
You can subtract the bigger fraction by the smaller fraction and then put a minus sign in front of the answer.
No because the smallest fraction depeneds on how many parts you have for instance if the denominator is larger the fraction is smaller
There is no whole number immediately in front of the fraction. And, for the fractional part, the numerator (the top number) is smaller than the denominator (the bottom number).
It is a smaller fraction.
