Answer

Improper

Work Step by Step

A proper fraction is any fraction that is less than 1 in value. In order words, for a proper fraction, the numerator will be less than the denominator. Therefore, $\frac{10}{10}$ is not a proper fraction, because the numerator of 10 is equal to the denominator of 10. Therefore, the fraction has a value of 1. The fraction is improper.
