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.
In order to have true intimacy with others, a person must be willing to take emotional risks when they share personal details and stories. Emotional intimacy doesn't automatically occur with sexual intimacy, as people who are sexually involved may still be unable or choose not to share their innermost thoughts and feelings. In fact, people sometimes find it easier to be emotionally intimate with friends than with a sexual partner.
