Answer 1

Proper fractions are those fractions where the numerator is less than the denominator.
For example, $\frac{3}{4}$ is a proper fraction.

In an improper fraction, the numerator is greater than the denominator and denominator should not be equal to zero.
For example, $\frac{4}{3}$ is an improper fraction.

A mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a fractional part. For example, $3\frac{1}{4}$ is a mixed fraction with 3 a whole number, and $\frac{1}{4}$, the fractional part of the fraction.
