Ma'am we can't say that a whole number + a fraction=mixed fraction because then every fraction would be a mixed fraction

Dear Student,

Your question is not clear. I am assuming that you would like to know about mixed fraction.

A Mixed Fraction is a whole number and a proper fraction combined.
$$\begin{gathered} Example \\ 1\frac{2}{3}= 1+\frac{2}{3} \\ Here 1is a whole number and \frac{2}{3} is a fraction. \\ This is mixed fraction. \\ Now your query is that every fraction should be a mixed frcation \\ So, you have to unders\tan d two types of fraction \\ A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator. \\ Ex:\frac{2}{3} \\ An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than its denominator \\ Ex \frac{5}{4} \\ So an improper fraction can be written as mixed fraction but proper fraction cannot be written in this form \\ Regards \end{gathered}$$
