Answer 2

Given: The following fractions are 5/4,1/4,11/4 and 12/4.

To find: We have to find the proper fraction.

Solution:

A fraction contains a numerator and a denominator.

A proper fraction should always have a numerator that is smaller than the denominator.

In the given fractions only the fraction 1/4 has a numerator smaller than the denominator because here numerator is 1 and denominator is 4.

So, 1/4 is the proper fraction.

Thus, the correct option is b.
