Answer 1

Question:

24/24 is which type of fraction proper, improper, mixed or unit?

Answer:

24/24 is a type of improper fraction

Explanation:

In a fraction there are two places i.e. numerator and denominator

Example => 5/3 => Numerator = 5, Denominator = 3

Proper Fraction => These are those fraction in which Numerator is less than Denominator i.e. Numerator < Denominator

Example => 5/6, 2/5 etc.

Imroper Fraction => These are those fraction in which Numerator is greater than or equal to Denominator i.e. Numerator > Denominator or Numerator = Denominator

Example => 5/2, 7/7 etc.

Mixed Fraction => The combination of a whole number and a proper fraction is called mixed fraction.

Example => $1\frac{1}{3}$ , $4\frac{2}{5}$  etc.

Unit Fraction => These are those fraction whose numerator is equal to 1 and denominator is a positive integer. These are in the form 1/n where n can be any positive integer.

Example => 1/1 , 1/5 etc.
