in form a/b
Proper fraction is when a<b or it is less than 1 (when top number less than bottom number)

Improper is when a>b or when it is more than 1 (when top number greater than bottom number)

Mixed is a whole number with a fraction example 1 and 2/3, it can be the result of converting an improper fraction into a whole number and a proper fraction
