What fraction is less than 1/2
To determine fractions that are less than 1/2, we need to consider fractions with a numerator that is smaller than the denominator.
For example, the fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/5, and 3/8 are all less than 1/2 because their numerators (1, 1, 2, and 3) are smaller than their denominators (3, 4, 5, and 8).
To identify more fractions that are less than 1/2, you can follow these general steps:
1. Start with a numerator that is smaller than the denominator.
2. Generate different fractions by increasing the numerator while keeping the denominator constant.
3. Compare each fraction generated to 1/2 to determine if it is less than 1/2.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to find additional fractions.
By using this method, you can discover an infinite number of fractions that are less than 1/2.
1/9, 2/9, 3/9, 4/9, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 1/6, 2/6, 1/5, 2/5, 1/4, 1/3 are less than 1/2.
1/789187513 is one.
There are many others. any unit fraction with denominator greater than 2 is less than 1/2
1/3 , 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/11, 1/12, 1/13, 1/14, 1/15, 1/16,
