True or False? When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the lesser denominator is the lesser fraction. (Hint: Type true or false)

False because 1/2 = 0.5, 1/3 = 0.33, 1/4 = 0.25, etc.

False.
When the numerator are the same, the fraction with the lesser denominator is greater.

Here's an examle:
1/1>1/2

The denominator of 1/1 is lesser, but the fraction as a whole in greater.
