A fraction is a way of expressing a part of a whole, where the numerator represents the number of parts we have, and the denominator represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, ( \\frac{1}{4} ) represents one part out of four equal parts, while ( \\frac{1}{5} ) represents one part out of five equal parts. To compare fractions, we can use the concept of common denominators or simply visualize the sizes of the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visualizing the fractions<\/strong>: Imagine a whole divided into 4 equal parts. Each part would represent ( \\frac{1}{4} ) of the whole. Now, imagine dividing the same whole into 5 equal parts. Each part would represent ( \\frac{1}{5} ), which is smaller than ( \\frac{1}{4} ), because the whole is divided into more parts. Therefore, ( \\frac{1}{5} ) is smaller than ( \\frac{1}{4} ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using common denominators<\/strong>: Another way to compare fractions is to find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 5 is 20. So, we rewrite the fractions with this denominator:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( \\frac{1}{4} = \\frac{5}{20} )<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( \\frac{1}{5} = \\frac{4}{20} )<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since ( \\frac{4}{20} ) is less than ( \\frac{5}{20} ), it confirms that ( \\frac{1}{5} ) is smaller than ( \\frac{1}{4} ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, ( \\frac{1}{5} ) is a fraction with a numerator of 1 that is less than ( \\frac{1}{4} ).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write a fraction less than 1\/4 that has a numerator of 1.
