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, [tex] \frac{3}{2} [/tex] is an improper fraction, as 3>2
You can convert it into a mixed number by changing it into [tex]1 \frac{1}{2} [/tex].
Both improper fractions and mixed numbers represent the same value, but in different forms.
