How to change a fraction to a whole number?
Proper fractions are less than 1, so they can't change into whole numbers. Some improper fractions can change into whole numbers. 4/2 = 2 Most improper fractions change into mixed numbers (a whole number with a fraction) To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder gets put over the original denominator. 22/7 = 3 and 1/7

Fractions and decimals?
Fractions and decimals are different ways of notating the same thing: a number that falls between two whole numbers.

As a mixed number, that would be 3 and 1/2 As a fraction, that would be 7/2 As a decimal, that would be 3.5 Some people refer to mixed fractions or decimal fractions to underscore the fact that they're all the same.
