Yes - after converting to an improper fraction, you flip it. Example: find the reciprocal (i.e., the multiplicative inverse) of 2 1/2 (two and a half).
Reciprocal of (2 1/2) = reciprocal of (5/2) = 2/5.
change it to an improper fraction and then divide it
Type your answer here... OK u know how there are improper fractions mixed numbers are usually the inverse basically it's a normal fraction
Improper Fraction.
It means, "With what number must I multiply it, to get a product of 1?" For example, the multiplicative inverse of 4 is 0.25 (= 1/4), since 4 x 0.25 = 1. The multiplicative inverse of 5/17 is 17/5. In general, you can divide 1 by a number to get its multiplicative inverse; in the case of fractions, first convert the fraction to an improper fraction (if it is in the form of a mixed fraction), then simply exchange numerator and denominator.
You do not do anything. An improper fraction IS a real number.
Some numbers are improper fractions and some are not. For example, 1/2 or 0.5 is a number but not an improper fraction. And there is no way in which you can express it as an improper fraction.
If you are using the same number, then the improper fraction and mixed number are equal.
twelve eighths is already in improper fraction, an improper fraction is a fraction which has a numerator (top number) larger than the denominator (bottom number)
No, it is not an improper fraction. It is a whole number.
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
An Improper Fraction is when the top number is bigger than the bottom number
First you would want to change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you can subtract
