Why is an improper fraction greater than a proper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator. 1/2 is a proper fraction. 3/2 is an improper fraction. Now to understand why the improper fraction is larger than the proper fraction, lets split them up. The proper fraction is one half of a whole, whereas the improper fraction is one whole and one half. Basically the proper is one half, and the improper is three halves. In theory, a proper fraction is always less than the whole number under consideration. On the other hand, an improper fraction is either equal to or larger than the whole number under consideration.
W number made up of a whole number and a fraction is what?
It is called a mixed fraction or mixed number.
7.13 how do you change into a mixed decimal?
you can follow this method to change a decimal into a mixed number. Method :write ALL the numbers as the numerator, then write 1 as the denominator and for each number add a 0 to the right of the 1.simplify.then write the improper fraction as a mixed number. if you don't know how, then look that up too.
How do you change 0.548 into a fraction?
0.548 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its rational equivalent is 548/1000 which can be simplified to 127/250. But simplification means that you lose information about the precision of the fraction and, in my view, end up with a "simplified" but clumsier fraction..
What fraction is equal to 2.10?
The fraction 1 1/2 is equal to 2.10. If you take a fraction circle pieces and match them up you could see they are the same. - soldier ARIANA MILLER
True or false an improper fraction is a number made up of an integer and a fraction?
False. What has been described is a MIXED fraction. An improper fraction is one whose numerator (top) is greater than or equal to its denominator (bottom). 3/2 is an improper fraction, equivalent to the mixed fraction 1 1/2

A number made up of a whole number and a proper fraction is it improper fraction mixed number proper fraction?
A mixed number.
Can 11 and 1 eighth be written as a proper fraction?
A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). There are 3 types of fractions: Proper, Improper, Mixed. A proper fraction is one where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is one where the numerator is larger or equal to the denominator. A mixed fraction is one with a whole number and a proper fraction together. 11 1/8 is a mixed fraction, and can be written as the improper fraction 89/8. It is impossible to write it as a proper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. Also, all mixed fractions are improper fractions and no improper fractions can be written as proper fractions.
How do you change 253 in to a mixed number?
You can't. A mixed number is the sum of a whole number and a proper fraction. 253 is a whole number, and if you split it up into a fraction, it would consist of a whole number and an improper fraction.
How do you subtract improper fractions with whole numbers?
To subtract an improper fraction from a whole number, turn the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the improper fraction. Then minus. All whole numbers actually have a "1" as a denominator, we just don't write it (it's assumed.) E.g 10 = (10/1) 20 = (20/1) etc... to change the denominator to the same as the improper fraction, multiply the whole number (that is now a fraction over "1") by the denominator of the improper fraction. E.g Let the improper fraction be 17/4, and your real number be 20. From above, we know that 20 is the same as "20/1", with "1" as the denominator. You want this "1" to be "4", so multiply the real number by "4/4" (which is essentially multiplying by 1, so doesn't mess up how big the fraction is) 20/1 x 4/4 = 80/4. Now the denominators of both fractions are the same, you can minus the improper fraction from the whole number. i.e 80/4 - 17/4 = 63/4 Which is actually 15 3/4 .
How do you convert an improper fraction into a whole number?
An improper fraction has the top number ( numerator ) equal to or larger than the bottom number ( denominator ) such as 100 / 50 . So divide the bottom number into the top number to get a whole number and any remainder would show up as a proper fraction. Thus 100/50 = 2 and 103/50 = 2 and 3/50
What do you call a number written as a whole number and a fraction?
a rational number or aka rational.
How do you know when two mixed numbers add up to an improper fraction?
I think you are mixing two or more different concepts. 2 1/4 is a mixed number. (mixed because it has a whole number "2" and a fraction "1/4") 9/4 is an improper fraction. It is improper because the top number of a fraction (numerator) is supposed to be a smaller number than the bottom number (denominator). 2 1/4 = 9/4 These are equal amounts...they are the same thing...just written in a different form. For example in English I say "cat" but in spanish I say "gato." Whether I say it in English or spanish...it is the same thing. So...the sum of any two mixed numbers can "be written" as an improper fraction.
Could you make the fraction 5 over 6 smaller?
Not without making it an improper fraction. If you try to simplify it anymore you'll end up with a decimal for the numerator. Ex: If you divide it by 2 you'll get 2.5/3 no
How do you turn 12.5 into a fraction?
Firstly, break up 12.5 into two parts - 12 and 0.5. Now convert 0.5 into a fraction which is 1/5. If you are looking for a improper fraction, you take 12 and divide it by 0.5. You should get 24. Then, add 1 to 24 and you get 25. The improper fraction of 12.5 is 25/5. On the other hand, if you are just looking for a mixed fraction, simply put 12 to left of 1/5 and there you go. It should be 12 and 1/5 (without the 'and' of course if you are writing it on paper).
Is five thirds a whole number?
No it is not It makes up one and two thirds, a fraction.
