Question

Which of the following is not a proper fraction?

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{5}{7}$
• C. $\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $\frac{6}{5}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Fractions that are greater than $0$ but less than $1$ are called proper fractions.

In proper fractions, the numerator is less than the denominator.

When a fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator, then the fraction is an improper fraction.

An improper fraction is always $1$ or greater than $1$.

Now looking at options

$\frac{2}{3}=.666<1$

$\frac{3}{4}=.75<1$

$\frac{5}{7}=.71<1$

$\frac{6}{5}=1.2>1$

So $\frac{6}{5}$ is Not a Proper fraction.

So option $D$ is correct.
