What fraction is the smallest?

24
10/60 is the smallest fraction, so 1/6 issmallest. Still another method is to convert thefractions to decimals. 1/4 = 0.25, 3/4 = 0.75, 1/5 = 0.2,and 1/6 = 0.1666666666…. .


In this way, how can you tell which fraction is smaller?

Step 1: Compare denominators. If they are different,rewrite one or both fractions with a common denominator.Step 2: Check the numerators. If the denominators are thesame, then the fraction with the greater numerator is thegreater fraction.

Subsequently, question is, which is the largest fraction? 1/24, 1/45,1/72 So 1/24 is the greatest of three.stonecold wrote: Which of the following fractions is thelargest? For larger fraction, the numerator should belarger (denominators are same) and/or denominator should be smaller(numerators are same). So comparing 1/24, 1/45 and 1/72, we ignore1/45 and 1/72.

Keeping this in consideration, which fraction is bigger 1 2 or 2 3?

A fraction with the same numerator (number ontop) as another but with a smaller denominator (number on bottom)is a larger number. For example 1/2 is biggerthan 1/3 which is bigger than 1/4, etc. To express afraction as a percentage, find the decimal form and multiplyby 100.

Which fraction is bigger 5 6 or 2 3?

The order is 2/3, 5/6, 10/11. For thosesmaller than 1/2, 2/5 is larger than 1/4 (numerators threeless than denominators), 1/3 is larger than 1/4 (samenumerator), and 2/5 is larger than 1/3 (compare usingequivalent fractions 6/15 and 5/15). The order is 1/4, 1/3,2/5.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions take the reciprocal (invertthe fraction) of the divisor and multiply the dividend. Thisis the quickest technique for dividing fractions. The topand bottom are being multiplied by the same number and, since thatnumber is the reciprocal of the bottom part, the bottom becomesone.

When you multiply 2 3 by a fraction less than one how does the product compare to the factors?

Verified by Expert
When multiplying fractions, you multiplyacross, so multiplying two fractions that areboth less than one will always give a numerator muchsmaller than the denominator, and a larger denominator makesfor a smaller number.
