Question

circle the improper fractions: 4/3, 2 4/3, 7/9, 3/8, 2 9/1, 2/5, 3/4, 7/6, 4 8/1, 9/8, 5/6, 2 8/3, 8/3, 6 7/1, 9/6, 6/10, 7/9, 2/7, 14/15, 6/1

Explanation:

Step1: Recall improper - fraction definition

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Step2: Check each fraction

• $\frac{4}{3}$: Numerator 4 > denominator 3, it's improper.
• $\frac{2}{4/3}=\frac{2\times3}{4}=\frac{6}{4}$, numerator 6 > denominator 4, it's improper.
• $\frac{7}{9}$: Numerator 7 < denominator 9, it's proper.
• $\frac{3}{8}$: Numerator 3 < denominator 8, it's proper.
• $\frac{9}{2}$: Numerator 9 > denominator 2, it's improper.
• $\frac{2}{5}$: Numerator 2 < denominator 5, it's proper.
• $\frac{3}{4}$: Numerator 3 < denominator 4, it's proper.
• $\frac{7}{6}$: Numerator 7 > denominator 6, it's improper.
• $\frac{8}{4/1}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ (can be written as $\frac{2}{1}$), numerator 2 > denominator 1, it's improper.
• $\frac{9}{8}$: Numerator 9 > denominator 8, it's improper.
• $\frac{5}{6}$: Numerator 5 < denominator 6, it's proper.
• $\frac{2}{8/3}=\frac{2\times3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}$, numerator 6 < denominator 8, it's proper.
• $\frac{8}{3}$: Numerator 8 > denominator 3, it's improper.
• $\frac{7}{6/1}=\frac{7}{6}$, numerator 7 > denominator 6, it's improper.
• $\frac{9}{6}$: Numerator 9 > denominator 6, it's improper.
• $\frac{6}{10}$: Numerator 6 < denominator 10, it's proper.
• $\frac{7}{9}$: Numerator 7 < denominator 9, it's proper.
• $\frac{2}{7}$: Numerator 2 < denominator 7, it's proper.
• $\frac{14}{15}$: Numerator 14 < denominator 15, it's proper.
• $\frac{6}{1}$: Numerator 6 > denominator 1, it's improper.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3},\frac{2}{4/3},\frac{9}{2},\frac{7}{6},\frac{8}{4/1},\frac{9}{8},\frac{8}{3},\frac{7}{6/1},\frac{9}{6},\frac{6}{1}$
