proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed fraction (mixed number)


Explanation:

Fractions represent parts of a whole or a ratio between two numbers. A proper fraction is one where the numerator is less than the denominator, representing a value less than one. An improper fraction has a numerator greater than or equal to the denominator, representing a value equal to or greater than one. A mixed fraction, also known as a mixed number, consists of an integer part and a fractional part, such as \(1 \frac{1}{2}\). It combines a whole number with a proper fraction.
