In this lesson, you will learn what an improper fraction is and how they differ from mixed numbers and proper fractions. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is where the numerator is larger than the denominator. A mixed number is just a different way to write an improper fraction. Improper fractions and mixed numbers both represent quantities larger than one. Because of this, we use improper fractions and mixed numbers very often in science and math. We will learn how to convert between an improper fraction and a mixed number in this lesson.
