Proper Fraction
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number).
For example, in the fraction 3/4, the numerator (3) is less than the denominator (4), so it is a proper fraction.
Proper fractions are always less than 1, and they represent parts of a whole or parts of a set.
