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.
