How do you rewrite a mixed number?

Answer 1

If you mean change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, all you have to do is multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator.

For example:

2 1/3 ( 3 x 2 + 1 ) = 7/3 (do not change denominator/bottom number)

If you want to reduce the mixed number, all you have to do is find a number that the denominator and numerator fit in.

For example:

1 3/6 (6 can be divided by 3 and 3 can be divided by 3 too)

1 3/6 = 1 1/2
