Why are the numerators greater than the denominators? if the mixed fraction would be 3 1/3.
a mixed number is a whole number and a fraction.
Since the whole number is at least 1, the resulting fraction is greater than 1.
and, since n/n=1, the fraction p/q is greater than 1 if p > q.
3 1/3 = 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3
google can provide many more discussions and examples.
