A fraction can be proper or improper.

When a fraction is proper, the numerator is less than the denominator, and therefore, the fraction is less than unity. For example:


(3)/(4)=0.75<1

When a fraction is improper the numerator is greater than the denominator and therefore the fraction is greater than unity. For example:


(9)/(5)=1.8>1

So, in this case, you have


(32)/(3)=10.67>1

Then, as you can see 32/3 is an improper fraction.

To take it to a proper fraction, you can convert this fraction into a mixed number.

A mixed number is made up of an integer part and a proper fraction.

So, you have


\begin{gathered} (32)/(3)=(10\cdot3+2)/(3)=(10\cdot3)/(3)+(2)/(3)=10+(2)/(3)=10(2)/(3) \\ \text{ Then,} \\ (32)/(3)=10(2)/(3) \end{gathered}

Therefore, 32/2 as a proper fraction will be


10(2)/(3)
