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 can always be written as a mixed number ... an integer plus a proper fraction.

When adding two mixed numbers is it always necessary to rename the fractional sum explain?

Why is the reciprocal of a fraction less than one always a fraction greater than one?
A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.
What is the answer of a Fraction that is greater than one?
What is the question ? This is often referred to as an "improper" fraction. It can always be re-written as an integer (whole number) plus a proper fraction (a fraction less than one).
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.
Why is reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 is always greater than 1?
Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
Is the reciprocal of an improper fraction sometimes always or never a proper fraction?
For a fraction A/B, the fraction is improper if A > B. The reciprocal is B/A. So now A is the denominator, and B is the numerator, and B < A, so the reciprocal is a proper fraction. The answer would be always.
Can a mixed number have a whole number and a fraction with the numerator greater than the denominator?
Sure, you can write it that way. But for the final result, you should always convert it to a mixed number in standard form, or to an improper fraction.
What is an improper fraction for 4 over 5?
-- An improper fraction is always equal to more than ' 1 '. -- 4/5 is less than ' 1 '. -- There's nothing you can do to 4/5 to make it an improper fraction.

It's not. The improper fraction 26/13 is not in its simplest form.
How do you simplify a improper fraction?
You can simplify an improper fraction, unless the numbers are prime. Simplify it like how you would regularly, but don't forget that you can always turn it into a mixed number.
When multiplying fraction by fraction the product will always be what?
The only thing that you can be certain of is that the answer will be a number. It could be irrational or rational, it could be a proper fraction, integer or improper (mixed) fraction.
Why is the recipical of A fraction less than one is always a fraction greater than one?
Fractions that are less than one are known as proper fractions. Their denominators are greater than their numerators. Their reciprocals would have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than one.
Why sine of an acute angle cannot be greater than 1?
You can only find the inverse of sine for number less than or greater than 1. An improper fraction is not acceptable either because the ratio is opposite over hypotenuse. The hypotenuse will always be the longest, so there you go.
Can an improper fraction equal one?
No, because the numerator (top number) must always be larger then the denomenator (bottom number) to be an improper fraction. To equal 1, both numbers must be the same.
Is 9 over 9 an improper fraction?
Yes. If the numerator (on top) is higher or equal to the denominator (bottom) than its an improper fraction. If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is considered a whole number and always comes out 1. If the numerator is higher than the denominator then you must divide the numerator by the denominator.
How do you convert an improper fractions into a mixed number?
You can convert an improper fraction into a mixed number through division. Divide the numerator (the larger number on top) by the denominator (the smaller number at the bottom). There will always be a remainder for an equation like this. The answer of the division will be the whole number, the remainder will be the numerator and the denominator will be the same with the improper fraction's remainder.
Is a positive improper fraction always a whole number?
No. It can be a number between two positive integers.
Why the quotient of two fractions is always greater than either fraction?
