It is a compound fraction.
The numerator and denominator in both types of fractions are integers. In a proper fraction the numerator is smaller than the denominator while in an improper fraction the numerator is larger.
Proper and improper fractions are alike in that they both represent parts of a whole. Both types of fractions have a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number). The relationship between the numerator and denominator determines the value of the fraction. The main difference between proper and improper fractions is that in a proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator, while in an improper fraction, the numerator is equal to or larger than the denominator.
Without seeing the fractions in question it would be assumed that they would form equivalent fractions.
An improper fraction is already in it's simplest form as long as in the fraction part the denominator is bigger then the numerator.
In that case, and assuming both fractions are positive, the one with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction, because you are dividing by a larger number.
"Regular" fractions have integers for the numerator and denominator. Complex fractions have fractions at one or both of those spots.
That means that there is a main fraction; the numerator, the denominator, or both, of it, are in turn fractions.
It is a compound fraction.
It is called a complex fraction.
The numerator and denominator in both types of fractions are integers. In a proper fraction the numerator is smaller than the denominator while in an improper fraction the numerator is larger.
To be called a complex fraction, either the numerator, the denominator, or both, are fractions (or contain fractions).
A fraction that has a fraction in either the numerator, denominator, or both is called a complex fraction. Complex fractions can be simplified by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the least common multiple of all the denominators present. This process helps to eliminate the fractions within the complex fraction, resulting in a simpler form.
In standard fractions both numerator and denominator must be integers.
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
Both proper and improper fractions have a numerator and a denominator. In a proper fraction the numerator is always less than the denominator. In an improper function the numerator is greater than the denominator
A complex fraction is one in which the numerator, denominator, or both contain a fraction.
That's a complex fraction.
