Answer:
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
Here, we want to divide a whole number into a even number of equal parts, but only half of those parts are shown.
So we must have a even number in the denominator.
3/6.
So we are dividing 3 into 6 equal parts, those are:
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 6/12 = 3/6
now we want to show a odd
so we can write this as:
3/6 = 3/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12
we wrote a proper fraction where we divide a whole number into a even number of equal parts, and a odd number of those parts are shown.
