They can be expressed as proper fractions, improper fractions or mixed numbers. Proper fractions are such that the numerator is less than the denominator, like 2/5, 7/11, -9/10. Improper fractions are those whose numerators are greater than the denominator, such as 5/3, 10/9, -21/8.
Mixed numbers are expressions made of whole numbers and a proper fraction, like 4 3/5, 1 1/2, -5 4/9. Mixed numbers can be transformed to improper fractions and vice-versa.
