A proper fraction is a fraction that is less than 1, that is the nominator is smaller than the denominator.
an example of a proper fraction is 1/2.
so let's try it out:
12*
=6
so if p represents a proper fraction, the result could be bigger than 1
but it could also be 1:
12*
=1
or less than 1:
12*
=
So... I think you might have forgotten something?
The options (A. Less than
B.Greater than
C. Equal to)
need something else at the end: less than WHAT etc.
as for the second part, among the fractions:
2/3 12/1 2/2 8/8 5/4 5/8 12 3/5 16/4
Only those are proper fractions (so would make the statement true)
2/3
 5/8
 3/5
