Question

Identify the fraction that can NOT be replaced with fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction when estimating?

  1. fraction numerator 3 over denominator 8 end fraction    
  2. fraction numerator 52 over denominator 100 end fraction    
  3. fraction numerator 3 over denominator 16 end fraction    
  4. fraction numerator 9 over denominator 16 end fraction    

hintHint:

Fractions are referred to as the components of a whole in mathematics. A single object or a collection of objects might be the entire. A piece or sector of any quantity is another name for the fraction. It is indicated by the sign "/," such as a/b. For instance, in the fraction 2/4, the lower part represents the denominator, and the top part the numerator.
We have given a fractional number and we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction.

The correct answer is: fraction numerator 3 over denominator 16 end fraction


    In general, the whole can be any particular thing or value, and the fraction might be a portion of any quantity out of it. The top and bottom numbers of a fraction are explained by the fundamentals of fractions. Fractions are further broken down into various categories based on the characteristics of the numerator and denominator.
    As follows:
    • Proper fractions
    • Improper fractions
    • Mixed fractions
    • Like fractions
    • Unlike fractions
    • Equivalent fractions
    Estimating sums and differences of fractions to the nearest 1/2:
    • Fractions < 1/4 are rounded down to 0
    • Fractions ≥ 1/4 and ≤ 3/4 are rounded to 1/2
    • Fractions > 3/4 are rounded up to 1
    Here the fraction that we have given is 3 over 852 over 1003 over 16and 9 over 16, we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with 1.
    So after looking at these numbers we can round them off as follows:
    3 over 8 can be rounded to fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction
    52 over 100 can be rounded to fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction
    3 over 16 can be rounded to 0
    9 over 16 can be rounded to fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction
    So, 3 over 16 cannot be rounded to fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction.

    The numerical numbers that make up a fraction of the whole are called fractions. A whole can be a single item or a collection of items. A fraction is represented as a/b, where a and b are the numerator and denominator, respectively. Here we were given a fractional number and we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction, so, 3 over 16 cannot be rounded to fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction.
