Answer

Proper: $\frac{3}{4}$, $\frac{9}{11}$, $\frac{7}{15}$ Improper: $\frac{3}{2}$, $\frac{5}{5}$, $\frac{19}{18}$

Work Step by Step

Telling the difference between proper and improper fractions is simple: if the numerator is less than the denominator (e.g. 3 is less than 4), the fraction is proper; if the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g. 19 is greater than 18 or 5 is equal to 5), the fraction is improper.
