Question

How to compare an improper fraction and a proper fraction?

Answer 1

Find fraction is proper or improper:

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

Example: $\frac{1}{4},\frac{5}{8}\mathrm{and}\frac{7}{9}$

The fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator is called an improper fraction.

Example: $\frac{4}{3},\frac{6}{6}\mathrm{and}\frac{8}{3}$

Therefore in this way, we can find fraction is proper or improper.
