Question

Which of the following image does not represent the proper fraction?

• A.
• B.
• C.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called a proper fraction.

Option "a"
3 fragements required to make a whole where two pieces of that whole is colored. Hence the fraction represented is $\frac{2}{3}$.

$\frac{2}{3}:\text{Numerator < Denominator}$
Hence, it is a Proper Fraction.

Option "b"
3 fragements required to make a whole where one pieces of that whole is colored. Hence the fraction represented is $\frac{1}{3}$.

$\frac{1}{3}\text{Numerator < Denominator}$
Hence, it is a Proper Fraction.


3 fragements required to make a whole where three pieces of that whole is colored. Hence the fraction represented is $\frac{1}{1}=1$.

$\frac{1}{1}:\text{Numerator = Denominator}$
Hence, it is not Proper Fraction.
Option (c) is correct.
