How do you change a proper fraction to a whole number?
A proper fraction is one in which the numerator is less than the denominator.That means that the value of the fraction is less than '1', so it can't be changedto a whole number.If you have an IMPROPER fraction ... one in which the numerator is more than the denominator ...then it can be changed to a whole number plus a proper fraction, like this:-- Divide the numerator by the denominator, to get the whole number, and a remainder.-- Write the proper fraction. Keep the original denominator, place the remainder in the numerator.
Can 11 and 1 eighth be written as a proper fraction?
A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). There are 3 types of fractions: Proper, Improper, Mixed. A proper fraction is one where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is one where the numerator is larger or equal to the denominator. A mixed fraction is one with a whole number and a proper fraction together. 11 1/8 is a mixed fraction, and can be written as the improper fraction 89/8. It is impossible to write it as a proper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. Also, all mixed fractions are improper fractions and no improper fractions can be written as proper fractions.
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 is one whose numerator is greater than its denominator, meaning its value is more than 1. An improper fraction can always be written as a mixed number ... an integer plus a proper fraction.
Why is a improper fraction greater than a proper fraction?
It is because an improper fraction has a greater numerator than the denominator of a proper fraction e.g. 3/1, 7/4, 2/1 etc...
What is a fraction that has a numerator greater than or equals to its denominator?
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
