To do this, take the denominator times the number in front. Then add the result to the numerator. Then the improper fraction is that result over the denominator. A mixed number is formatted as a leading number and a fraction. If X is the leading number, D is the denominator, N is the numerator: X and N/D=(X*D+N)/D _______________________________________________________________ 2. Then take this new fraction and flip the numerator and the denominator: D/(X*D+N) _______________________________________________________________ So to get the reciprocal of a mixed number in one step, the reciprocal's: numerator is equal to the denominator of the mixed number; denominator is equal to the leading number multiplied by the denominator added to the numerator: D/(X*D+N)
