I'm reaching far back for this one. I believe an improper fraction is one in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. The numerator is the number 'on top'. The reason it is called improper is that such a fraction has an absolute value that is greater than 1.
You can't convert a proper fraction to an improper or mixed fraction - it just doesn't make sense. By definition, a proper fraction is one that is less than one; a mixed fraction - as well as an improper fraction - is less than or equal to one.
