Answer 2

Given,

$\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{5},\frac{10}{7},\frac{7}{4},2,\frac{15}{8},\frac{16}{16},\frac{10}{11},\frac{23}{10}$

We can use the definition of proper fraction and improper fraction, to find the given fractions are proper or not.

• Proper fraction: a fraction in which the numerator is lessor of lower degree than the denominator.
• Improper fraction: An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Now,

$\frac{1}{2}$, $1$ is less than $2$

So, $\frac{1}{2}$ is a proper fraction

$\frac{3}{5},$ $3$ is less than $5$

So, $\frac{3}{5}$ is a proper fraction

$\frac{10}{7},$ $10$ is greater than $7$

So, $\frac{10}{7}$ is an improper fraction

$\frac{7}{4}$, $7$ is greater than $4$

So, $\frac{7}{4}$ is an improper fraction

$2$ is an improper fraction

$\frac{15}{8}$, $15$ is greater than $8$

So, $\frac{15}{8}$ is an improper fraction

$\frac{16}{16}$ is an improper fraction.

$\frac{10}{11}$, $10$ is less than $11$

So, $\frac{10}{11}$ is a proper fraction

$\frac{23}{10}$, $23$ is greater than $10$

So, $\frac{23}{10}$ is an improper fraction.

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{5},\frac{10}{11}$ are the proper fractions.
