Identify the types of fractions:

\$3/(13) , (16)/9, 1 4/7\$

Step: 1

This is a proper fraction because the numerator (3) is smaller than the denominator (13), meaning it represents a value less than 1.

Explanation:

I learned that this is a proper fraction because the numerator (3) is smaller than the denominator (13), indicating that it represents a value less than 1.

Step: 2

This is an improper fraction because the numerator (16) is greater than or equal to the denominator (9), resulting in a value greater than 1.

Explanation:

I learned that this is an improper fraction because the numerator (16) is greater than or equal to the denominator (9), which results in a value greater than 1.

Step: 3

This is a mixed number because it consists of a whole number part (1) and a fractional part (\$4/7\$). It represents a value greater than 1.

Explanation:

I have a number here that is greater than 1. It’s called a mixed number because it’s made up of a whole number part (1) and a fractional part (\$4/7\$).
