Maths | Proper, Mixed Number and Improper Fractions

Fractions are the equal pieces that have been cut from a whole object. There are three different types of fractions: proper, improper and mixed number fractions.

Proper fractions are fractions in which the denominator is bigger than the numerator (3/4). Improper fractions are fractions that have their denominator less than their numerator (7/6). Mixed number fractions are fractions that have a whole as well as a fraction (1 and 2/5).

To convert each fraction into a decimal representation, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Example: If someone has 2/10, 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2. The decimal representation of 2/10 is 0.2.
