Answer 1

The fraction is grather than 1 if the numerator is greater than denominator.

The fraction is less than 1 if the numerator is less than denominator.

The fraction is equal 1 if the numerator is equal the denominator.

`a.\ \text{greater than 1:}\ (4)/(3),\ (7)/(5);\ (16)/(10)\\\\b.\ \text{less than 1:}\ (1)/(3);\ (12)/(15);\ (3)/(10);\ (3)/(5)\\\\c.\ \text{equal to 1:}\ (3)/(3)`

`(16)/(10)=(10+6)/(10)=(10)/(10)+(6)/(10)=1+(6)/(10)=1(6)/(10)=1(6:2)/(10:2)=1(3)/(5)\\\\3\text{ is greater than half of 5.}\ \text{Therefore}\ (3)/(5)>(1)/(2).\\\\\text{Therefore}\ (16)/(10)>1(1)/(2).\\\\OTHER:\\\\(16)/(10)=1(6)/(10)\\\\1(1)/(2)=1(1\cdot5)/(2\cdot5)=1(5)/(10)<1(6)/(10)\\\\OTHER\\\\(16)/(10)=1(6)/(10)=1.6\\\\1(1)/(2)=1.5\\\\1.6>1.5\Rightarrow(16)/(10)>1(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

You are correct

Explanation:

Start with 1 1/2. This can be made into an improper fraction which is 3/2

Now multiply both top and bottom of 3/2 by 5

(3*5)/(2 * 5) = 15 / 10

16/10 is just slightly bigger than 15/10
