Why is the product of two proper fractions less than either of the fractions?
A proper fraction is less than 1. Whenever you multiply something by a number < 1, the result (product) is less than the original number. So when you multiply a proper fraction by a number less one (such as another proper fraction, the product is less than the original proper fraction. The only time a product involving a given number is larger than the given number is when you multiply the given number by a number that is > 1. Since all proper fractions are < 1, products involving them are always less than the original given number.
Do all proper fractions have a value between 0 and 1?
Unless it's negative, yes. Proper fractions are between -1 and 1.
How do you make fractions proper?
Just make the numerator(top number)smaller than the denominator(bottom number) and it is a proper fraction.
When the numerator is bigger than the denominator a fraction is?
There is no specific name. -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.
How do you convert improper fractions to proper fractions?
find how many times larger the numerator is than the denominator. That is the whole number and the remaining number stays on the top. For example: 9/2. 9 is 4 times larger than 2. 4*2=8. 9-8=1. 4 1/2
What fractions are greater than 0 and less than 1?
Proper fractions.
Can the product of 2 proper fractions be 1?
No.
How do you find the product of improper fractions?
You solve it just like they are proper fractions
How do you change a mix fraction to a proper fraction give an example?
Mixed fractions can't become proper fractions. Mixed fractions are greater than one.
What is the difference in proper fractions and improper fractions?
Proper fractions are factions with a numerator lower than the denominator but an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator
Which is greater a mixed number or a fraction?
Mixed numbers are greater than proper fractions.
How are improper fractions and mixed numbers different to proper fractions?
In case of Proper fractions the numerator is lesser than the denominator. Whereas in case of improper fractions and mixed fractions the numerator is greater than denominator.
Is a mixed number greater than a fraction?
Mixed numbers are greater than proper fractions.
What are the different forms of fractions?
1. Proper Fractions where the numerator is less than denominator. 2. Improper Fractions or top-heavy fractions where the numerator is greater than denominator.
What are the types of fractions?
The two types of fractions are proper fractions, in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator, and improper fractions, in which the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
What is kinds of fraction?
There are proper fractions, where the numerator is less than the denominator, and improper fractions where the denominator is greater than or equal to the numerator.
