What is a fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator?

Answer 1

Its an improper fraction...which looks like this: 3/2 or 8/3

or 5/2 and many many more :) The way you turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction (mixed number) is by seeing how many times the denominator goes into the nuerator the number you get is your whole then the remainder is your numerator and the denominator from the improper fraction will be the same denominator in your mixed fraction(mixed number is the same thing as mixed fraction)

EXAMPLE:

3/2

2 goes into 2 once so thats my whole: 1

then 1 is left over because 2x1=2 so thats my new numerator

then the denominator stays the same so your mixed fraction(mixed number) is

1 1/2
