Write your fractions as fractions with denominator 72.
1 / 2 = 36 • 1 / 36 • 2 = 36 / 72
3 / 4 = 18 • 3 / 18 • 4 = 54 / 72
1 / 8 = 9 • 1 / 9 • 8 = 9 / 72
2 / 3 = 24 • 2 / 24 • 3 = 48 / 72
4 / 9 = 8 • 4 / 8 • 9 = 32 / 62
Less than 1 / 2 is a fractions whose numerator is less than 36 ( because 1 / 2 = 36 / 72 )
In this case:
