It's simple really! When there is a whole number and a proper fraction it is a mixed number!
PROPER FRACTION
A Mixed Number is a whole number and a proper fraction combined.
A mixed number.
proper fraction
The product of a proper fraction and a whole number results in a smaller number than the whole number, maintaining the same basic numerical relationship as multiplying two proper fractions, which also yields a smaller number. However, the key difference lies in the nature of the multiplicands; a whole number has a value greater than or equal to one, while a proper fraction is always less than one. Consequently, when multiplying a proper fraction by a whole number, the result is a proper fraction or whole number, whereas the product of two proper fractions will always be a proper fraction.
If the number is put together and looks like this: 1 1/2 then it is called a mixed number. If they are put together like this: 3/2 then it is an improper fraction :)
It is called a mixed number or a mixed fraction.

A Mixed Number is a whole number and a proper fraction combined.
A mixed number. Some people cal it a mixed fraction.
Proper fraction - A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is less that the denominator (the bottom number). Proportion - An equation stating that two ratios are equivalent is called a proportion.

550 IS a whole number and so it cannot be expressed as a proper fraction.
851 is an integer - neither a proper fraction not a mixed number!
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.
