A proper fraction is one in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
That means that the value of the fraction is less than '1', so it can't be changed
to a whole number.
If you have an IMPROPER fraction ... one in which the numerator is more than the denominator ...
then it can be changed to a whole number plus a proper fraction, like this:
-- Divide the numerator by the denominator, to get the whole number, and a remainder.
-- Write the proper fraction. Keep the original denominator, place the remainder in the numerator.

How do you change proper fractions as whole numbers?
If it is a fraction like 5/5 than you can make it into a whole number which in this case is 1, but if you have a fraction such as 3/8 the closest whole number you can get is 0.375 which by the way is not a whole number. however technically, 5/5 is not proper. A proper fraction is when the numerator is less than the denominator, therefore it is simply impossible.

How do you change a proper fraction into a whole or mixed number?
You cannot. By definition, a proper fraction is a number whose absolute value is between 0 and 1. There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1 so the number cannot be changed into a whole number. Also, since the absolute value is less than 1, it cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
How do you change a fraction with a whole number to a decimal?
The whole number will stay the same. Convert the proper fraction part of the mixed number to a decimal by dividing the denominator into the numerator. 2 and 3/8 = 2.375
How do you change a fraction to an improper fraction with a whole number?
This question looks a little turned around. You can't change a proper fraction to an improper one unless you add something to it and improper fractions don't have whole numbers. To change an improper fraction to a mixed number (a whole number with a fraction) divide the denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder gets put over the original denominator. 22/7 = 3 and 1/7
The writing of a whole number and a proper fraction is an improper fraction?
Yes.
