Question

Identify the fraction as proper, improper, or mixed . (If the fraction is equivalent to 1, choose "one" in the blank.)

Answer 1

Proper fractions are those whose numerator is less than the denominator.

These are examples of proper fractions:

1/10, 1/9, 1/4, 1/2, 7/8, 221/225, 100/2000.

Improper fractions are those whos numerator is greater than the denominator.

These are examples of improper fractions:

10/3, 9/5, 8/7, 100/99, 5/4, 125/35.

Mixed fractions are made up of one whole number and a fraction (normallly a proper fraction).

These are examples of mixed fractions:

1 1/4 (which is read one and one quarter)

3 2/3 (which is read three and 2 thirds)

10 1/5 (which is read ten and one fith)

3 1/8 (which is read 3 and 1 eigth)

Fractions equivalent to one are those whose numerator is equal to the denominator.

With that information you have the tools to identify your fractions, given that you did not attached them.
