A fraction can be proper or improper.
When a fraction is proper, the numerator is less than the denominator, and therefore, the fraction is less than unity. For example:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}=0.75<1[/tex]When a fraction is improper the numerator is greater than the denominator and therefore the fraction is greater than unity. For example:
[tex]\frac{9}{5}=1.8>1[/tex]So, in this case, you have
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=10.67>1[/tex]Then, as you can see 32/3 is an improper fraction.
To take it to a proper fraction, you can convert this fraction into a mixed number.
A mixed number is made up of an integer part and a proper fraction.
So, you have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{3}=\frac{10\cdot3+2}{3}=\frac{10\cdot3}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=10+\frac{2}{3}=10\frac{2}{3} \\ \text{ Then,} \\ \frac{32}{3}=10\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, 32/2 as a proper fraction will be
[tex]10\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
