Answer:

Explanation:

Ex 1- If the share is a fraction a/b, and a is greater than b, then the share is more than 1.

Ex 2- a whole is 1 = 2/2 = 4/4 = 22/22if the top is bigger than the bottom, as in3/2 or 54/23 or 19/4then you have more than a whole. Say 3 people want to divide up 5 pies. Then each person gets 5/3 of a pie. Naturally, since there are more pies than people, each person gets a share which is more than a whole pie.

Answer:

You can tell if the share combined is more than one whole or if one of the shares is more than 1/2 or 0.5 or 50&=%

Example:

My Share of Pizza: 60% of the pizza

Your Share of Pizza: 60% of the pizza

Total: 120% > 100% = 1
