A mixed fraction consists of a whole number and a proper fraction combined, such as 1 1/2. A vulgar fraction, on the other hand, is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, like 1/2. In essence, a mixed fraction represents a whole number and a fraction together, while a vulgar fraction is just a fraction without a whole number component.
