Question: 1 / 400

Which term describes a fraction whose numerator is larger than the denominator?

Area

Improper fraction

You are correct that the term that describes a fraction whose numerator is larger than the denominator is an improper fraction. An improper fraction signifies that the value represented by the fraction is greater than or equal to one. This characteristic sets it apart from proper fractions, where the numerator is less than the denominator and indicates a value less than one.

In the context of the other options: "Area" and "Volume" are measurements of space and do not relate to the classification of fractions. A "mixed number," on the other hand, represents a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction, which is distinct from an improper fraction. Therefore, the best choice indicating a fraction with a larger numerator than denominator is indeed an improper fraction.
