Question

State whether the statement is True or False:

When an improper fraction is converted into a percentage then the answer can also be less than $100$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given the statement that is “When an improper fraction is converted into a percentage then the answer can also be less than $100$”.

The given statement is false since the value of an improper function once converted to a percentage has always been greater than$100$. It also known as the improper fraction is always greater than 1.

An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator.

For example, $\frac{3}{2}$is an improper fraction.

Convert into percentage :$\frac{3}{2}\times 100=150\%$

Here the percentage is greater than $100$

But $\frac{2}{3}$ is a proper fraction, whose denominator is greater than the numerator.

Hence, the given statement is “False”.
