Because the probability of an impossible event is 0 and probability lies within the area of {0-1} meaning 0 is impossible and 1 is definite. If you took an improper fraction such as 5/4 and made it a proper faction, it would be 1 1/4 making it more than 1 or (100%) and that wouldn't make any sense because 4/4 (1) is definite, anything more isn't a probability.
