How do you change whole numbers into improper fractions?

I don't know why you'd want to, but to change a whole number to an improper fraction, square it and put the square over the original number. 9/3 = 3


How do you subtract improper fractions with whole numbers?

To subtract an improper fraction from a whole number, turn the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the improper fraction. Then minus. All whole numbers actually have a "1" as a denominator, we just don't write it (it's assumed.) E.g 10 = (10/1) 20 = (20/1) etc... to change the denominator to the same as the improper fraction, multiply the whole number (that is now a fraction over "1") by the denominator of the improper fraction. E.g Let the improper fraction be 17/4, and your real number be 20. From above, we know that 20 is the same as "20/1", with "1" as the denominator. You want this "1" to be "4", so multiply the real number by "4/4" (which is essentially multiplying by 1, so doesn't mess up how big the fraction is) 20/1 x 4/4 = 80/4. Now the denominators of both fractions are the same, you can minus the improper fraction from the whole number. i.e 80/4 - 17/4 = 63/4 Which is actually 15 3/4 .


How do you know if a fraction is equivalent if one of the fractions has a whole number in it?

You know the two are equivalent if you turn the mixed number(the number with the whole number) into an improper fraction and see if it matches. You do this by taking the denominator and multiplying it by the whole number and add the numerator to it. The denominator remains the same. Ex. 9/1/2 would be 19/2 when it has been converted.


What is improper fraction and mixed fraction?

An improper fraction is which something you can't reduce anymore. A mixed fraction is a fraction where you can multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator, ex. 4 and 1 half multiply 4 and 2 which is 8 and add 1 which is 10, so you now know that 4 and 1 half is the same as 10.

What is an improper fraction and how do you know?

An improper fraction is one where the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator.


How do you know when a fraction is equivalent to a whole number?

You know when a fraction is equivalent to a whole number when both the numerator and denominator is the same. For example 2/2 is equivalent to the number two.


How do you know when two mixed numbers add up to an improper fraction?

I think you are mixing two or more different concepts. 2 1/4 is a mixed number. (mixed because it has a whole number "2" and a fraction "1/4") 9/4 is an improper fraction. It is improper because the top number of a fraction (numerator) is supposed to be a smaller number than the bottom number (denominator). 2 1/4 = 9/4 These are equal amounts...they are the same thing...just written in a different form. For example in English I say "cat" but in spanish I say "gato." Whether I say it in English or spanish...it is the same thing. So...the sum of any two mixed numbers can "be written" as an improper fraction.


Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?

Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).


How do you multiply fractions with whole numbers and mixed numbers?

The question is ambiguous. Do you want to know how to multiply a fraction by a whole number, as well as by a mixed number? Or are you asking how to multiply a whole number by a mixed number and express the product as a fraction? Or what?


What the mixed number of a fraction?

Type your answer here... OK u know how there are improper fractions mixed numbers are usually the inverse basically it's a normal fraction
