proper factions are fractions under a whole number improper fractions are Example: proper: 1/2 improper: 3/2
You cannot: whole numbers and improper fractions are disjoint sets.
(3/10)+(1/2)+(1/5)=1
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
The three improper fractions that equal the whole number 3 are 9/3, 6/2, and 3/1. These fractions show different ways to represent the whole number 3 using improper fractions.
Improper.

Improper fractions are where the numerator is greater than the denominator. If their value is 2, the numerator is twice the denominator. Examples: 2/1, 10/5, 60/30
Mixed numbers usually become improper fractions, not whole numbers.
The majority of fractions will not be able to become whole numbers. Certain improper fractions, where the numerator is a multiple of the denominator, can become whole numbers. No proper fractions can.
No. A mixed number is one where there is a whole number and a fraction. If the whole number is 0 there is no whole number and all that remains is the fraction. All improper (top heavy) fractions can be converted to a mixed number.
Proper fractions are less than 1, so they can't change into whole numbers. Some improper fractions can change into whole numbers. 4/2 = 2 Most improper fractions change into mixed numbers (a whole number with a fraction) To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder gets put over the original denominator. 22/7 = 3 and 1/7
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
You just take any denominator, (which is the second number in a fraction) and any whole number and multiply that denominator by the whole number to get an improper fraction, say you choose, the whole number 16 and the denominator 4, multiply 4 by 16 and get 64, your improper fraction will be 64/4.
