for ch fraction described below state therelationship of the fraction to the number 1?

Question

1. the denominator of the fraction is larger than the numerator of the fraction.
2. the numerator and the denominator of the fraction have the same value

Answer 1

1. If the denominator is larger than the numerator you would have a fraction such as 3/4 or 5/8 or 9/1232, each one of these fractions is always less than one.

2. If the numerator and denominator have the same value you would see a fraction like 4/4, 8/8, or 987/987, each one of these fractions will equal one, except if your two numbers are zero.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer 2

This question is asking if the value of each of these types of fractions is greater than one, equal to one, or less than one. In the first case, where the denominator (bottom number) is greater than the numerator (top number), the value of the fraction will be less than one. For example, 1/2 (one half), 1/3 (one third), and 1/8 (one eighth) are all less than one.

In the second case, where the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction is equal to one. For example, 3/3 (three thirds), 5/5 (five fifths), etc. equal one.

Remember, a fraction is just like a division problem. For example, 1/2 (one half) is the same as one divided by two. If you make one whole into two equal parts, each part is one half; one divided by two equals one half. If you make, say, three into three equal parts (3/3 or three divided by three), each part is one. Any number divided by itself is one.
