An integer is a whole number without decimals or fractions
It is possible no to. But doing so makes it easier
you would convert the mixed numbers into fractions where the top number is greater than the bottom number, then multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a number that makes the denominators the same.
It only makes sense to count, and talk about "next" and "previous" numbers, with integers - not with fractions, or irrational numbers.It only makes sense to count, and talk about "next" and "previous" numbers, with integers - not with fractions, or irrational numbers.It only makes sense to count, and talk about "next" and "previous" numbers, with integers - not with fractions, or irrational numbers.It only makes sense to count, and talk about "next" and "previous" numbers, with integers - not with fractions, or irrational numbers.
you do what makes sense given the numbers, if the fractions work out beautifully, you can just leave them as mixed numbers, otherwise it's best to keep them as improper fractions
No. The concept of consecutive makes sense for integers but not for fractions. Fractions are infinitely dense. This means that there are infinitely many fractions between any two numbers - including between any two fractions. So, given one fraction, f1, there cannot be a "next" or "consecutive" fraction, f2, because there are an infinite number of fractions between f1 and f2.
The concept of a number going into another makes no sense at all when you allow fractions. Each and every non-zero number goes into 0.125
The concept of a common denominator makes sense for integers but not for fractions - rational or decimal. This is because in the set of fractions, every non-zero fraction is a factor of any number.

Two fractions are equivalent if they can be reduced to the same number. For example, 2/3 and 4/6 are equivalent because 4/6 will reduce to 2/3.
The idea of "going into" makes sense only for integers. If you allow fractions, then any non-zero number can go into any number.
The concept of divisibility makes sense only in the context of whole numbers. This is because once you allow fractions, every number is divisible by every non-zero number.
