What is the fraction whose value is more than one?
An improper fraction.
Is a mixed fraction bigger than a regular fraction?
Yes it is. A regular fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, thus the value of the fraction will always be less than one. Note that a fraction with it's numerator bigger than the denominator does not count as a regular fraction; it is called a improper fraction. Whereas a mixed fraction is a regular fraction with a whole number at the left that is at least one. Thus, the value of a mixed fraction will always be more than one.
What is the difference between proper and improper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is less than its denominator, meaning its value is less than 1. An improper fraction is one whose numerator is greater than its denominator, meaning its value is more than 1. An improper fraction can always be written as a mixed number ... an integer plus a proper fraction.
How do you change a mixed fraction in to a proper fraction?
You cannot. By definition, the absolute value of a mixed fraction is greater than one while, again by definition, the absolute value of a proper fraction is less than one.
