I will solve this worksheet on identifying proper and improper fractions by following the instructions for each section. Let's go through it step-by-step.
Section A: Circle the proper fractions.
A
proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number).
Let's examine each fraction:
- 7/10: 7 < 10 → Proper
- 2/9: 2 < 9 → Proper
- 12/11: 12 > 11 → Improper
- 5/2: 5 > 2 → Improper
- 9/4: 9 > 4 → Improper
- 3/14: 3 < 14 → Proper
- 1/2: 1 < 2 → Proper
So, the proper fractions to circle are: 7/10, 2/9, 3/14, and 1/2.

Section B: Circle the improper fractions.
An
improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
Let's examine each fraction:
- 5/4: 5 > 4 → Improper
- 13/12: 13 > 12 → Improper
- 2/3: 2 < 3 → Proper
- 15/8: 15 > 8 → Improper
- 5/6: 5 < 6 → Proper
- 8/7: 8 > 7 → Improper
- 11/5: 11 > 5 → Improper
So, the improper fractions to circle are: 5/4, 13/12, 15/8, 8/7, and 11/5.

Section C: Read each statement and check "Yes" or "No" as appropriate.
1) "3/4 is a proper fraction."
- 3 < 4 → Yes, it is a proper fraction.
-
Answer: Yes
2) "9/8 is not an improper fraction."
- 9 > 8 → It *is* an improper fraction, so the statement "is not" is false.
-
Answer: No
3) "10/7 is an improper fraction."
- 10 > 7 → Yes, it is an improper fraction.
-
Answer: Yes
4) "14/13 is a proper fraction."
- 14 > 13 → It is an improper fraction, so it is *not* a proper fraction.
-
Answer: No

Final Answer:
A) Circle the proper fractions: 7/10, 2/9, 3/14, 1/2
B) Circle the improper fractions: 5/4, 13/12, 15/8, 8/7, 11/5
C) Check "Yes" or "No":
1) Yes
2) No
3) Yes
4) No
