Answer 1

which is The correct

Answer 2

1. Using 3, 5 and 8 we can write the proper fractions (when numerator is less than the denominator) as
`(3)/(5) , (3)/(8) , (5)/(8)`. As we can see these are just 3 in number.

Likewise, improper Fraction will be when the numerator is greater than the denominator and they are
`(5)/(3), (8)/(5) , (8)/(3)`. As we can see even these are just three in number.

2. a 11 is the numerator and 20 is the denominator

b 7 is the numerator and 512 is the denominator

c 12 is the numerator and 10 is the denominator

d 0 is the numerator and 78 is the denominator

3 Please keep in mid that a fraction is proper when the numerator is lesser than the denominator and is improper when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Thus, keeping in mind this rule let us proceed and check the given fractions.

a Proper

b Improper

c Proper

d Improper

4. When the numerator is equal to denominator, the fraction's value will always be equal to 1. When the numerator is greater than the denominator the fraction's value will always be greater than 1 and when the numerator is less than the denominator the fraction's value will always less than 1. Keeping these rules in mind let us proceed with the fractions given.

a. =

b. <

c. <

d. >
