Question

How are improper fraction and mixed numbers alike? how are they different?

Answer 1

Improper fractions have a numerator that is greater than the denominator. Mixed fractions always have the numerator smaller than the denominator, and there may be a number in front of the fraction.
For example,
`(3)/(2)` is an improper fraction, as 3>2
You can convert it into a mixed number by changing it into
`1 (1)/(2)`.
Both improper fractions and mixed numbers represent the same value, but in different forms.

Answer 2

Improper fractions can be changed into mixed numbers and mixed numbers can be changed into improper fractions (that's how the are similar) they are different because mixed numbers have a whole number
