The easiest method is to:
To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator to create the new numerator and put this over the original denominator.
eg 52/3 ⇒ (5 x 3 + 2)/3 = 17/3
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator to give the whole number and a remainder; the remainder is put as the numerator over the denominator to provide the fraction.
eg 16/5 ⇒ 16 ÷ 5 = 3 r 1 ⇒ 31/5
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.
Yes. when changing a mixed number to another form you leave the denominator constant and it does not change.
You first need to find a common denominator, not necessarily the least common denominator. Next, you rename the fractions according to the common denominator. Only then can you subtract the fractions. After subtraction you should simplify the answer.
Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add that to the numerator (don't forget to keep the denominator).
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
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.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. To put a fraction into its simplest form, find the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and divide them both by it. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form.
An improper fraction has a numerator equal to or greater than the denominator. A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. I'm not sure what a mixed improper fraction is. Whatever. To reduce any kind of fraction to its simplest form, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form. If not, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF. The result will be the simplest form.
You convert to a common denominator first. Then you add or subtract the numerator and write it in simplest form
first you look at fraction and then you divide the numerator with denominator.
