Answer:

-Fractions:

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters.

-improper fractions:

Fractions in which the numerator is equal to or less than the denominator are known as improper fractions in math. 3/2, 6/5, 18/11 are a few examples of improper fractions.
