Answer:

Improper fraction

Explanation:

-36/12 is indeed an improper fraction. An improper fraction is usually a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator. Which in order for the fraction to be a "proper" fraction, the fraction has to have a numerator that is smaller than the denominator. Not only is this fraction an improper one, but it can also be heavily reduced (or simplified) by dividing the numerator/denominator by a common factor, which you would still have an improper fraction speaking how the numerator will still be greater than the denominator.

Hope this helps.
