I don't know.

Let's see:

7/8 divided by 1/4 = 7/2 or 31/2

9/10 divided by 1/5 = 9/2 or 41/2

7/12 divided by 1/3 = 7/4 or 13/4 .

I guess it doesn't necessarily always have to be.

But . . . -

7/13 divided by 9/10 = 70/117

so sometimes it can be.

It looks to me like fractions behave just like whole or mixed numbers:

-- If you divide a smaller proper fraction by a bigger proper fraction, you get

a proper fraction.

-- If you divide a bigger proper fraction by a smaller proper fraction, you get

an improper fraction, which you can also write as a mixed number.

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.
