To determine which statements about comparing fractions are correct, let's examine each statement:
A. When two fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the greater numerator is greater.
This statement is correct. When the denominators are equal, the fraction with the larger numerator represents a larger quantity.
B. When two fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the greater denominator is greater.
This statement is incorrect. When the numerators are equal, the fraction with the smaller denominator actually represents a larger quantity.
C. When two fractions have the same denominator and the same numerator, the two fractions are equal.
This statement is correct. When the numerators and denominators of two fractions are equal, the fractions represent the same value.
D. When two fractions have the same numerator, the fraction with the lesser denominator is greater.
This statement is incorrect. When the numerators are equal, the fraction with the larger denominator represents a smaller quantity.
E. When the denominator of a fraction is greater than the numerator, the fraction is greater than 1.
This statement is incorrect. A fraction is greater than 1 when its numerator is greater than its denominator.
Therefore, the correct statements are A (When two fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the greater numerator is greater) and C (When two fractions have the same denominator and the same numerator, the two fractions are equal).
