  Certainly, here is an example of an improper fraction:

  5/3

  An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than the denominator (the bottom number).

  In the example of 5/3:

  • The numerator is 5, which is greater than the denominator of 3.
  • This means that 5/3 represents a quantity that is greater than 1 whole.

  Other examples of improper fractions include:

  • 7/4
  • 11/6
  • 99/25

  Improper fractions can be converted to mixed numbers, which consist of a whole number and a proper fraction.

  For example, 5/3 can be converted to the mixed number 1 2/3.

  So in summary, an improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator, representing a quantity greater than 1 whole.
