Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We are to write nine proper fractions (where the numerator is smaller than the denominator) and nine improper fractions (where the denominator is bigger than the numerator) using the number 3, 5 and 8.

Proper fractions:


\frac { 3 } { 5 },\frac { 3 } { 8 } \frac { 5 } { 8 }, \frac { 3 }{ 5 . 8 },(5)/(3.8), (8)/(5.3),(3)/(5+8),(5)/(3+8), (5-3)/(8) \imples(3)/(5),(3)/(8) (5)/(8),(3)/(40),(5)/(24), (8)/(15),(3)/(13),(5)/(11), (1)/(4)

Improper fractions:


(5)/(3),(8)/(3) (8)/(5),(40)/(3),(24)/(5), (15)/(8),(13)/(3),(11)/(5), (19)/(3)

Proper Fractions:


(3)/(5),(3)/(8),(3)/(5+8),(3)/(8*5),(5)/(8),(5)/(3+8),(5)/(8*3),(5-3)/(8),(8)/(5*3)\\\\\\(3)/(5),(3)/(8),(3)/(13),(3)/(40),(5)/(8),(5)/(11),(5)/(24),(1)/(4),(8)/(15)

Improper Fractions:


(5)/(3),(8)/(5),(8)/(3),(8+3)/(8),(5+8)/(3),(3*5)/(8),(8*5)/(3),(3+8)/(5),(8*3)/(5)\\\\\\(5)/(3),(8)/(5),(8)/(3),(11)/(8),(13)/(3),(15)/(8),(40)/(3),(11)/(5),(24)/(5)
