Question. 22
A fraction with denominator greater than the numerator is called a ______ fraction.
Answer:
A fraction with denominator greater than the numerator is called a proper fraction.
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Think of a fraction as ( rac{a}{b} ).
( a ) = numerator (top).
( b ) = denominator (bottom).
It is a proper fraction when:
( 0 le a )
and
( a < b ).
Meaning: the top number is smaller than the bottom number.
Examples: ( rac{1}{2} ), ( rac{3}{5} ), ( rac{7}{10} ).
Not proper: ( rac{5}{4} ) (top ≥ bottom).
