Sagot :

Sure, let's identify which of the given options is an improper fraction.

An improper fraction is defined as a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number).

Let's analyze each option:

A. [tex]\(\frac{3}{10}\)[/tex]
- Here, the numerator [tex]\(3\)[/tex] is less than the denominator [tex]\(10\)[/tex].
- This makes [tex]\(\frac{3}{10}\)[/tex] a proper fraction.

B. [tex]\(\frac{6}{7}\)[/tex]
- Here, the numerator [tex]\(6\)[/tex] is less than the denominator [tex]\(7\)[/tex].
- This makes [tex]\(\frac{6}{7}\)[/tex] a proper fraction.

C. [tex]\(\frac{10}{3}\)[/tex]
- Here, the numerator [tex]\(10\)[/tex] is greater than the denominator [tex]\(3\)[/tex].
- This makes [tex]\(\frac{10}{3}\)[/tex] an improper fraction.

D. [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex]
- Here, the numerator [tex]\(4\)[/tex] is less than the denominator [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
- This makes [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex] a proper fraction.

After examining all the options, we see that the only improper fraction is option C, [tex]\(\frac{10}{3}\)[/tex].

Therefore, the best answer for the question is:
C. [tex]\(\frac{10}{3}\)[/tex]
