Without calculating, determine whether the quotient in the division exercise is less than 1 or not:
Note that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:
As a result, we can write it thusly:
Therefore, the quotient in the division exercise is indeed less than 1.
Less than 1
Write the fraction shown in the picture, in words:
Simply compare the numerator and denominator! If the top number is smaller than the bottom number, the fraction is less than 1. If they're equal, it equals 1. If the top is bigger, it's greater than 1.
Yes! Whether it's or , the rule stays the same. As long as numerator < denominator, the fraction is less than 1.
It's faster and builds number sense! You can instantly see relationships between numbers without doing division. Plus, some divisions create long decimals that are harder to work with.
Both 5:6 and 5/6 represent the same division. The colon (:) is just another way to write division, commonly used in ratios. They both mean "5 divided by 6".
Think of a pizza cut into 6 slices. If you eat 5 slices, you've eaten of the pizza - that's less than the whole pizza! You still have 1 slice left.
