Answer 1

Answer:

mark me as brainlist and follow me

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions that are less than one are known as proper fractions, and the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). A fraction with a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator is known as an improper fraction.

Answer 2

The answers to the given questions are as follows -

1. A fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator is called an improper fraction.
2. Fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called proper fraction.

• A fraction has two parts - a) numerator , b) denominator.

$fraction = \frac{numerator}{denominator}$

• Now, whenever the numerator of a fraction is greater than the denominator, then the fraction is considered as a imroper fraction.

$example = \frac{3}{2}$

Here, the numerator is 3 and denominator is 2, which means numerator is greater than denominator. Hence, its an improper fraction.

• Similarly, in proper fractions, the numerator is less than the denominator.

$example = \frac{2}{5}$

Here, the numerator is 2 and denominator is 5. Which means, numerator is greater than denominator. Hence, its a proper fraction.
