What is the difference between an improper fraction and a proper fraction?
A proper fraction has a numerator that is smaller in magnitude (absolute value) than its denominator. A fraction that does not meet this criterion is called improper.
What is a number between 0 and 1 expressed as one number over another called?
A fraction.
What is a vulgar fraction?
A fraction written with an integer numerator placed over a (nonzero) integer denominator is called a vulgar fraction. Vulgar fractions are also known as common fractions or simple fractions. Examples are 2/5 and 7/3. In those examples, the numerators are 2 and 7, the denominators are 5 and 3, all of which are integers. Simple/common/vulgar fractions are distinguished from compound fractions, from complex fractions, from mixed numerals, from decimal fractions, and from irrational fractions. Examples of fractions that are not common fractions are: * 0.75 -- decimal fraction * (3/4) / 2 -- complex fraction * (3/4) / (2/3) -- complex fraction * (1 1/2) / 2 -- complex fraction with mixed numeral in numerator * 3/4 of 5/7 -- compound fraction * 75% --- which equals 75/100, but written as a percent, it has neither a numerator nor a denominator * pi/4 -- irrational fraction. The distinction between common fractions and fractions that are not common is NOT the same as the distinction between proper fractions and improper fractions (which is explained below, but which is not needed to understand what a common fraction is). Common fractions can be either proper or improper. ------ If the absolute value of the numerator (the number on top) is less than the absolute value of the denominator (the number on the bottom) the fraction is called a PROPER fraction.. Examples are 2/3 and and -2/5. If the absolute value of the numerator is greater than the absolute value of the denominator (the number on the bottom) the fraction is called IMPROPER. Examples are 3/2 and and -5/2. Improper fractions can be converted to a mixed numeral, that is, an integer plus a fraction. For example 7/3 is equal to 2 1/3.

What is a number called when it is a whole number with a fraction?
A number can be called either a mixed number or a mixed fraction when it is a whole number with a fraction.
What is the difference between a proper fraction and an improper fraction?
In an improper fraction the absolute value of the numerator (the top) is bigger than the absolute value of the denominator. An improper fraction is also called a top-heavy fraction.
What is the difference between an improper fraction and a proper fraction?
A proper fraction has a numerator that is smaller in magnitude (absolute value) than its denominator. A fraction that does not meet this criterion is called improper.
What type of faction is it when the numerator that is greater than the denominator?
Its called a mixed fraction. So, for example, 10/4 is a mixed fraction.

Is the different between an individual score and mean of the group of scores is called deviation?
No, it is called the absolute deviation.
What is a number between 0 and 1 expressed as one number over another called?
A fraction.
What is the definition of an improper fraction?
I'm reaching far back for this one. I believe an improper fraction is one in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. The numerator is the number 'on top'. The reason it is called improper is that such a fraction has an absolute value that is greater than 1.
