Answer:

Yes unless the fraction is equal to a whole number or is an improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal fraction like 2/4 is less than a whole number because a whole number is whole and a fraction is part of

Exceptions:

4/4 is a fraction but is also a whole number

any improper fraction ( a fraction not simplified)

5/4 it equals more than a whole number 1 1/4

So simplify the fraction and if it is equal to or more than a whole number you know, but if it is less than a whole number then you know it is less.

Hopefully this helped :)
