I will show the process by converting 1½ to a decimal and then reverse the process. First, you must multiply the denominator of the fraction by thewhole number. (in this case 2 X 1.) You will then add the numerator of the fraction to your current number.(2 X 1 + 1 = 3) Then place the number that you currently have(3)on top of the original denominator.(2) Your answer will be numerator:3 Denominator:2- an improper fraction.
If you have an improper fraction like three halves, the fraction can be simplified to a mixed number. To do the conversion, divide three by two or ask your self how many times 3 goes into 2.(Did you know that a fraction is simply another way of showing division?) If three is correctly divided by two the answer will be 1½.

How to subtract a mixed number from a whole number?
You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
How do you convert improper fraction to a proper fraction?
You can't. Improper and proper fractions are two different things. You can convert an improper fraction to a mixed number.
How do you times a mixed fraction by a whole number?
As an example 2 3/5 X 7 First convert the mixed number to an improper fraqction Hence 2 3/5 = 13/5 Next we convert the '7' to an improper fraction by placing it over a trivial '1'. Hence '7' = '7/1'. Re-writing 13/5 x 7/1 We separate;y multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together. Hence 13/5 X 7/1 = 91/5 Finally we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction by dividing by '5' , which will give an answer of '18' and a remainder of '1' Hence it is re-written as ' 18 1/5 '. The answer. NB Whenthe numbers become large , look to see if you can cancel down /reduce. So amending the above numbers slightly. 2 3/5 X 5 = > 13/5 X 5/1 In this case '5' is a common factor ; top & bottom'. so we cancel down by '5' Hence 13/1 X 1/1 proceeding as before. 13 / 1 = 13 The answer!!!!! These methods are good for any set of frqactional numbers.
How do you change each improper fraction to a mixed numeral?
divide the numerator by the denominator
How do you solve mixed number to improper fraCTION thrugh cancelation?
Cancellation cannot be used to convert a mixed number into an improper fraction.
How fo you times a fraction and a mixed number?
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
How do you add and subtract frations with a whole number with a fraction?
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
How do you convert a fraction to an improper fraction?
WE just have to check if the numerator is greater than the denominator. Eg: 8/3 is an improper fraction. Every mixed fraction is an improper fraction.
How do you divide a fraction and amixed number?
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
How do you add a mixed number and an improper fraction?
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
What to do to convert an improper fraction to a mixed or whole number?
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
Convert the improper fraction into a mixed numeral?
To do this, subtract the denominator of the improper fraction from the numerator, then add 1 to the whole number. Repeat this until the numerator is less than the denominator.Example: 9/2 --> mixed number9/21 7/22 5/23 3/24 1/2
