Is 1/2 greater than 1/3? Is 1/2 bigger than 1/3? Is 1/2 larger than 1/3? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

1/2 = 0.5
1/3 = 0.333

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.
0.5 is greater than 0.333.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/3 and the answer to the question "Is 1/2 greater than 1/3?" is yes.

Which means that this equation is also true: 1/2 > 1/3

Note: When comparing fractions such as 1/2 and 1/3, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.

Is a third more than a half?

No, one-third is NOT more than one-half. One-half is more than one-third. Because the two fractions, 1/3 and 1/2, have the same numerator (remember, the numerator is the number on top), they are easy to compare.

What Which fraction is greater?

If the denominators are the same, then the fraction with the greater numerator is the greater fraction. The fraction with the lesser numerator is the lesser fraction. And, as noted above, if the numerators are equal, the fractions are equivalent.

What is bigger a half or 1 4?

Answer and Explanation: The fraction 1/4 is less than 1/2 .

What fractions are greater than one half?

If the numerator is greater than half of the denominator, then the fraction is greater than one-half.) Use fractions that are equivalent to one-half (If you're trying to determine if 4/6 is greater than 1/2, find a fraction with the same denominator and that is also equivalent to 1/2.
