Select the best answer for the question.

11. Which of the following is an example of an improper fraction?

A. [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

B. [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

C. [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

D. [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]



Answer :

To identify an improper fraction, we need to review the definition of an improper fraction. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number).

Let's examine each option:

A. \(\frac{4}{5}\)
- Here, the numerator is 4 and the denominator is 5. Since 4 is less than 5, \( \frac{4}{5} \) is a proper fraction.

B. \(\frac{6}{7}\)
- Here, the numerator is 6 and the denominator is 7. Since 6 is less than 7, \( \frac{6}{7} \) is a proper fraction.

C. \(\frac{10}{3}\)
- Here, the numerator is 10 and the denominator is 3. Since 10 is greater than 3, \( \frac{10}{3} \) is an improper fraction.

D. \(\frac{3}{10}\)
- Here, the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 10. Since 3 is less than 10, \( \frac{3}{10} \) is a proper fraction.

From the four options provided, the one that meets the criteria of an improper fraction is:

C. \( \frac{10}{3} \)

Thus, the best answer is:

C. [tex]\( \frac{10}{3} \)[/tex]
