a fraction is a number that show part of a whole example: 1/2 2/5 ect. It should say "a fraction is a number that SHOWS part of a whole"
A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are.
You can make a mixed number with a whole number and a fraction. Ex. 1 3/4 is a mixed 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
