A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator (e.g., 3/4, 2/5). An improper fraction has a numerator greater than or equal to the denominator. A mixed fraction is a whole number plus a proper fraction. Equivalent fractions are different fractions representing the same value.
