Answer:
C. 2½
Explanation:
A mixed number is a number that has a mix of different types of numbers. For fractions, it means there is a whole number beside a fraction.
Proper fractions have numerators (top numbers) that are less than the denominator (bottom).
C. 2½ is the only option that has a whole number and a fraction beside it.
The whole number is "2". The fraction is "½".
What were the other options?
A. This is a proper fraction.
B. This is a whole number only; there is no fraction.
D. This is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator.
