What is improper fraction?
A fraction with a numerator greater than or equal to the denominator is said to be improper . The top number is the numerator, and the bottom number is the denominator. When you have a whole or more than a whole, you can have improper fractions. If the numerator exceeds the denominator, the fraction is said to be improper . Examples include 9/2, 8/5, and 10/3. Proper fractions are those that are greater than 0 but less than 1. The numerator is smaller than the denominator in proper fractions. An improper fraction is one that has a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator. A wrong fraction is always greater than or equal to one.
Here,
Naomi has earned $54 mowing lawns the past 2 days . She worded 21/2 hours yesterday and 41/4 hours today.
First day=21/2= 10.5 hours
Second day=41/4= 10.25hours
When h is hours,
10.5h + 10.25h = 54
20.75h = 54
h=54/20.75
h= 2.60 hours=2 hours 36 minutes
If Naomi is paid the same amount for every hour she works,
She has made $54 over the last two days mowing lawns and is paid $2.6 per hour to do so. Naomi was paid the same amount for each hour she worked yesterday and today , despite working 21/2 hours yesterday and 41/4 hours today.
