Question

Identify the proper fractions from the following:

1. $\frac{11}{7}$

2. $\frac{3}{7}$

3. $\frac{999}{99}$

4. $\frac{114}{788}$

5. $\frac{14}{100}$

Answer 1

A proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator.

In $\frac{11}{7}$, the numerator (11) is greater than the denominator (7). SO, this is not a proper Fraction.

In $\frac{3}{7}$, the numerator (3) is lesser than the denominator (7).Therefore, this is a proper Fraction.

In $\frac{999}{99}$, the numerator (999) is greater than the denominator (99). SO, this is not considered a proper Fraction.

In $\frac{114}{788}$, the numerator (114) is lesser than the denominator (788).Therefore, this is a proper fraction

In $\frac{14}{100}$, the numerator (14) is lesser than the denominator (100). This is also a proper fraction

Hence, 2,4 and 5 are proper fractions.
