Answer
(i) False
Reason — In an improper fraction, the numerator may be equal to or greater than the denominator.
(ii) False
Reason — A proper fraction is less than 1. The product of two numbers less than 1 is always less than 1. Hence, it remains a proper fraction.
(iii) True
Reason — An improper fraction is greater than or equal to 1. A proper fraction is always less than 1. Therefore, any improper fraction is greater than any proper fraction.
(iv) False
Reason — A unit fraction is any fraction with a numerator of 1, such as . Only the fraction is equal to 1.
(v) True
Reason — In a proper fraction, the denominator is larger than the numerator. When you take the reciprocal, the larger number becomes the numerator, making it an improper fraction.
(vi) False
Reason — The product of two proper fractions is always less than each of them.
(vii) True
Reason — The number 1 can be written as the fraction . Its multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) is also , which is equal to the original fraction. (Similarly, or also shares this property).
(viii) True
Reason — A proper fraction is less than 1. When a number is multiplied by a fraction less than 1, the product becomes smaller than the original number.
