• B. 1-a, 2-b, 3-e, 4-d, 5-c
• C. 1-c, 2-a, 3-d, 4-b, 5-e
• D. 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b, 5-e

Answer 1

The correct option is D

1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b, 5-e

1.) A decimal fraction is the one in which the denominator is 10 of a higher power of 10. For e.g.- $\frac{23}{10}$= 2.3

2.) A vulgar fraction will have a denominator other than 10 or its powers. For e.g.- $\frac{2}{9}$

3.) A proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is lesser than its denominator. For e.g.- $\frac{3}{4}$

4) An improper fraction is the one in which the numerator is greater than the denominator, For e.g.- $\frac{4}{3}$

5.) A mixed fraction will have an integer and a fractional part. e.g.- 3$\frac{4}{5}$
