Because its numerator is at least as large as its denominator, an improper fraction has a value:
AExactly zero
BAlways negative
CAt least one
DBelow one always
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. At least one
1. The size comparison decides the value.
2. In an improper fraction the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
3. So its value is greater than or equal to one.
4. A proper fraction would instead be less than one.
