Question from tim, a student: The question asks me to find a counter example for: the quotient of 2 proper fractions is a proper fraction |
Hi Tim.
A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator.
If you have a quotient of 2 proper fractions and the top fraction is larger than the bottom fraction, you don't have a proper fraction.
Cheers,
