How do you turn an improper fraction to a proper fraction?

Answer 1

Change it into a mixed number: by dividing the denominator by the numerator and the whole number is your whole in your mixed number, the remainder (if there is a remainder) is your numerator and your denominator is your original denominator

Hint: Denominator ALWAYS stays the same!!

Example:

10

___

8

Divide them

_1 r 2_

8 l 10

The whole number (1) is your whole number in your mixed number

1 _2__

8 <--------Denominator ALWAYS stays the same!!
