In a fraction, the numerator is the number on top, whereas the denominator is the number on the bottom. For the fraction 1/2, the numerator is "1", while the denominator is "2".
Is it true to convert a fraction into a decimal number you have to divide the denominator by the numerator?
Exactly the other way around: Divide the numerator by the denominator, and the result will give you the decimal form of the fraction.
Is an improper fraction bigger than a proper fraction?
yes. in a "proper" fraction, the numerator (number on top) is smaller than the denominator (number on bottom). in an improper fraction, the numerator is larger than the denominator. e/i: 3/5 is smaller than 7/5. 3/5 is proper, 7/5 is improper. 7/5=1 2/5
