7. WHAT IS A FRACTION?
•When an object
is divided into a
number of equal
parts then each
part is called a
fraction
•Therefore, a
fraction is a part
of a whole.

8. Types of Fractions
A PROPERFRACTIONis afraction
whose value is lessthan 1
(numerator smaller than
denominator)
A n IMPROPERFRACTIONis a
fraction whose value isgreater
than or equal to 1 (numerator
greater than or equal to
denominator)
A MIXEDNUMBERis anumber
whose value is greater than 1made
up of awhole part and afraction
