All fractions are proportional to some other fraction.
The two fractions are -181/2 and 191/2.
Take one of the fractions. Multiply its numerator and denominator by any integer greater than 1. The result will be a fraction with is equivalent to the fraction that you started with but no longer similar to the other fraction.
Choose ANY fraction. Multiply 5/6 by that fraction to get the other fraction.
Improper fractions and proper fractions are mutually exclusive; one can't be the other.
During fractional distillation of crude oil, the naphtha fraction separates because it has a lower boiling point compared to the other fractions. As the temperature in the distillation column increases, the naphtha vaporizes and rises to a level where it condenses back into liquid, forming a separate layer from the heavier fractions. This separation is based on the differences in boiling points of the components in crude oil.
Naphtha is separated from other fractions of crude oil through the process of fractional distillation in a refinery. This process heats the crude oil to high temperatures, causing the different hydrocarbons within the oil to vaporize at different temperatures. Naphtha has a lower boiling point compared to other fractions, allowing it to be collected as a separate product.
Two fractions are related when the denominator of one of the fraction is a multiple of the denominator of the other fraction. (Don't confuse with Like fractions)
You can add or subract other fractions to it, or reduce it.

Fractions are infinitely dense. What that means is that the only fraction that can be closest to a given fraction is the fraction itself. Given any other candidate fraction there are infinitely many fractions between it and the target fraction, so each one of those infinitely many fractions is closer.Therefore, the answer to the question is -225/1000 or, equivalently, 9/40.
It is similar because when you divide fractions you are technically multiplying the second number's reciprocal. (Turning the fraction the other way around)
You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.
