Question

Is 8/15 greater than 1

Answer 1

No, because 15 in question = 1, and 8/15 is less than 1

Answer 2

8/15 is NOT greater than 1

Explanation:

15/15 is a whole fraction and is equal to 1, and because 8 is less than 15, 8/15 is not greater than or equal to 1.

To make a fraction equal to 1, the numerator has to be the same as the denominator. To make a fraction greater than 1, the numerator has to be greater than the denominator.
