Why is there a question mark?
The answer is 10.4 because 5 is counted as higher so it's 10.4.
Answer:
First, we can write a fraction as a/b
Where a is the numerator, and b is the denominator.
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
Using only the given numbers (only once per fraction), some examples of proper fractions are:
3/5
3/8
5/8
3/85
3/58
5/83
5/38
8/35
8/53
You can see that in all of them the denominator is larger than the numerator.
The improper fractions are those where the numerator is equal or larger than the denominator.
The 9 examples using the given numbers are:
5/3
8/5
8/3
35/8
38/5
53/8
58/3
83/5
85/3
