Let’s learn about: Types of fractions.


There are three types of fractions: Proper, Improper and Mixed fraction.

So, we can define the three types of fractions like this:

Proper Fraction

A fraction is proper when the numerator is less (-) than the denominator

Look this example:

The numerator (number 1) is less (-) than the denominator (number 2).

These are examples of proper fractions.




Improper Fraction

A fraction is improper when the numerator is greater (+) than denominator.

Example:


The numerator (number 3) is greater (+) than the denominator (number 2).

Look at these examples:





Mixed Fraction

This fraction has two parts: whole number and fraction.

Example:  



The number 1 is the whole number and 5/7 is the fraction. 

More examples:



How to convert a mixed fraction into improper fraction?


Step Nº 1: keep the same denominator


Step Nº 2: Multiply the whole number with the denominator

Step Nº 3: Add 10 with the numerator 

Finally: We find the improper fraction
