Explanation:

To be a proper fraction the numerator (top number) must be less the the denominator (bottom number). Let’s start at the top.

27/27

This would be an improper fraction because the numerator is equal to the denominator, not less.

6/17

Because 6 is less then 17 this would make it a proper fraction

8/9

Same case as the last one, this is a proper fraction because the numerator is less then the denominator

21/5

21 is definitely more the 5 making this a improper fraction.

Hope this helped :)
