Example of fractions

Here are some examples of fractions:

• A proper fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator:

  $$\frac{1}{2}$$

  This represents one part out of two equal parts.

• Another proper fraction:

  $$\frac{3}{4}$$

  This represents three parts out of four equal parts.

• An improper fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator:

  $$\frac{5}{3}$$

  This represents five parts, where each whole is divided into three equal parts. This can also be written as a mixed number, $1\frac{2}{3}$.
