Question

All improper fractions can be represented as mixed fractions. Say true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

In an improper fraction, the numerator is greater than the denominator. Lets look at the below examples.

Example 1:

$\frac{13}{5}$ represents 13 divided by 5

The quotient obtained is 2 and the remainder is 3

So, $\frac{13}{5}=2\frac{3}{5}$

Example 2:

$\frac{15}{5}$ represents 15 divided by 5.

The quotient obtained is 3 and the remainder is 0.

So, $\frac{15}{5}=3$

Therefore, we cannot represent all improper fractions as mixed fractions. But, we can write all mixed fractions as improper fractions.
