Since 15 is less than 22, this fraction is a <strong>proper fraction<\/strong> because the value is less than 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. 8\/8<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here, the numerator and denominator are both 8. Since 8 divided by 8 equals 1, this is an <strong>improper fraction<\/strong>, not a proper fraction, because its value equals 1 (not less than 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. 12\/9<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this case, the numerator is 12 and the denominator is 9. Since 12 is greater than 9, this fraction represents a value greater than 1. Therefore, it is an <strong>improper fraction<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. 3\/2<\/strong>:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 2. Since 3 is greater than 2, this is another <strong>improper fraction<\/strong>, representing a value greater than 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Concepts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Proper Fraction<\/strong>: The numerator is smaller than the denominator (value less than 1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improper Fraction<\/strong>: The numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (value greater than or equal to 1).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarize, only <strong>15\/22<\/strong> qualifies as a proper fraction, while the other options (8\/8, 12\/9, and 3\/2) are improper fractions.
