Question: 1/2 is greater than 1?
Answer: A fraction with the same numerator (number on top) as another but with a smaller denominator (number on bottom) is a larger number. For example 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 which is bigger than 1/4, etc. That is because if you divide 1 by 2, you get 0.5 but 1 divided by 3 is only 0.333 and 1 divided by 4 is only 0.25.
