What type of fraction has a numerator that is greater than or equal to its denominator?

Fractions are generally thought of as quantities less than one. If a fraction is equal to or greater than one, it is either a mixed fraction, such as 3 1/2 (three and one half), or an improper fraction, such as 3/2 (three halves) or 5/3 (five thirds). The student should learn how to convert quickly from mixed fractions to improper fractions and vice versa.
