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.
