For example, you can represent the improper fraction 3/2 as the equivalent mixed number 1-1/2. The mixed number 1-1/2 means 1 + 1/2. To see why 3/2 = 1-1/2, realize that three halves of a cake is the same as one whole cake plus another half. Every improper fraction has an equivalent mixed number, and vice versa.
Intimacy is a close personal connection between two people that usually develops over time. Typically, children learn about and develop intimate relationships through interacting with parents and close family members.
