Example: 3/2= 1 and 1/2
There are three halves in 3/2. You add two halves and get 1. You take the remaining half and put it on the end which make 1 and 1/2.

How do you multiply mixed numbers by fractions?
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed normally.
How do you convert mixed numbers to fractions?
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.
Steps for multipling fractions and mixed numbers?
to multiply fractions add them together and reduce the final fraction. to multiply mixed numbers, first make the mixed number an improper fraction, by mulitplying the whole number and the denominator and adding the answer to the numerator. Example: The improper fraction 8/5 can be changed to the mixed number 1 3/5 by dividing the numerator (8) by the denominator (5). This gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 3. The remainder is placed over the divisor (5).
How do you subtract mixed fractions?
convert them to Improper Fractionthen substract them (using substraction of Fractions)then convert back to Mixed Fractions.consider two mixed fractions, say, ab/c and xy/z.now u want ab/c - xy/z ?first convert mixed fractions to improper fractions.ab/c becomes, (ca+b)/c and xy/z becomes, (zx+y)/z.now, (ca+b)/c-(zx+y)/z is what we want.take LCM, {z(ca+b)-c(zx+y)}/czthis will be the answer.Example: What is 15 3/4 - 8 5/6 ?Convert to Improper Fractions: 15 3/4 = 63/48 5/6 = 53/6Common denominator of 12:63/4 becomes 189/1253/6 becomes 106/12Now Subtract:189/12 - 106/12 = 83/12Convert back to Mixed Fractions:83/12 = 6 11/12Converting improper fraction to mixed fraction:83/12 = (72+11)/12= 6 11/12Divide the numerator by the denominator.Write down the whole number answerThen write down any remainder above the denominator.
Multiplying fractions and mixed numbers?
can't do it as is... you must convert the mixed number to an improper fraction to multiply To convert the mixed number to a fraction you multiply the denominator and the number in front and then add that to the numerator then you put that number over the original denominator ex. 2 1/3 = (3 x 2 + 1)/3 =7/3 then you can multiply: 7/3 X 4/5 = 28/15
What how do you convert fractions and mixed numbers to decimals?
Convert any mixed numbers to improper fractions. Once you have a fraction (proper or improper) do the division. 2/4 = 2 divided by 4 = 0.5
How do you subtract fractions with mixed numbers and like denominators?
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.
How do you subtract mixed form by another mixed form?
The easiest is to convert both mixed form numbers to improper fractions, do the subtraction (as normal1) and if the result is an improper fraction convert it to mixed form. 1 by converting the improper fractions to equivalent [improper] fractions with a common denominator and subtracting the resultant numerators.
How do you multiply mixed numbers by fractions?
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed normally.
How do you multiply negative mixed numbers?
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed. The answer will be positive.
When asked to find the sum of two mixed numbers with different denominators you should before you add?
Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. In actually adding mixed numbers, it is easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper (top heavy) fractions, do the addition, simplify the resulting fraction and convert any resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number.
How to add and subtract mixed numbers?
Convert them to improper fractions with common denominators and proceed.
How do you Multiply three or more mixed numbers.?
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed the same way you would multiply two fractions.
When finding volume do you need improper fractions or mixed numbers?
To find a volume you usually need to multiply values together. When working with mixed numbers it is usually easier to convert them into improper fractions, do the calculations and convert any resulting improper fraction into a mixed number. So you don't need to use either format, it's just that improper fractions are easier to manipulate.
How do you add multiple mixed numbers?
Convert them to improper fractions, find a common denominator and proceed.
How do you simply improper fractions?
convert into a mixed number.
Adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators?
First convert the mixed numbers into "top heavy (or "improper) fractions". Now multiply each of the improper fractions by each other - this makes the denominators the same. Now you can add both the fractions together (and cancel down if necessary).
