What type of fraction has a value greater than one?

An improper fraction is defined as a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. This characteristic leads to a value that is equal to or greater than one. For example, in the improper fraction 7/4, the numerator (7) is larger than the denominator (4), resulting in a value of 1.75, which is clearly greater than one.

In contrast, a mixed number, which combines a whole number and a proper fraction, can also represent values greater than one but is not itself a fraction. A proper fraction has a numerator that is less than the denominator, leading to a value less than one. A unit fraction has a numerator of one, meaning its value is always less than one. Therefore, the only type of fraction listed that consistently has a value greater than one is the improper fraction.
