Answer:

Yes,
(10)/(3) is an improper fraction


Step-by-step explanation:

An improper fraction is defined as a fraction whose numerator (the number on top) is equal to or greater than the denominator (the number at the bottom)


It is sometimes referred to as top-heavy


Now, in the given fraction
(10)/(3), we have:

the numerator = 10

the denominator= 3


Therefore, the numerator is greater than the denominator which means that it is an improper fraction


Hope this helps :)

An improper fraction (top-heavy) is a fraction where the top part is bigger than the bottom (hence top-heavy). This means it is bigger than 1. In other terms 10/3 is 3 and 1/3
