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

Let's analyze each option:

  1. 2025: This is a whole number, not a fraction.

  2. Start Fraction 20 over 25 End Fraction: This simplifies to \( \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5} \), which is not an improper fraction (the numerator is less than the denominator).

  3. 729: This is also a whole number, not a fraction.

  4. Start Fraction 25 over 20 End Fraction: This simplifies to \( \frac{25}{20} = \frac{5}{4} \), which is an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator).

  5. 297: This is again a whole number, not a fraction.

  6. Start Fraction 9 over 7 End Fraction: This fraction is \( \frac{9}{7} \), which is also an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator).

Based on this analysis, the options that represent improper fractions are:

  • Start Fraction 25 over 20 End Fraction (Option 3)
  • Start Fraction 9 over 7 End Fraction

If you can select only one, the most straightforward improper fraction option is Start Fraction 25 over 20 End Fraction.
