You do not but you are more likely to make mistakes if you don't.
Convert it to an improper fraction.
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.
For a fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply by 100 for a percentage. If it's a mixed number, you first have to convert it to an improper fraction then do the same thing as for a fraction.
Change each mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Do this by multiplying the denominator by the whole number next to the fraction and then adding the numerator to the product you get. Once you do this, multiply fractions normally.
7/13 can't be converted into an improper fraction, since it's less than 1. Assume the given value is 7 1/3. This is in mixed number form. To convert it into improper fraction, you need to rewrite the term as the fraction of only numerator and denominator. For the numerator, multiply 7 by 3. Then, add that by 1. You should get: (7 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 22 / 3
turn fraction into a improper fraction
multiply the denominator by the whole number then add the numerator and you have an improper fraction
The simplest way is to rewrite the mixed number as an improper (top-heavy) fraction and then multiply the two fractions together as normal.For example, 2/7 * 1 1/4 = 2/7*5/4 = 10/28 = 5/14
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)
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
Convert it to an improper fraction.
17/6 is an improper fraction. As a mixed number it is written 25/6.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed with the multiplication.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed normally.
turn the fraction upside down and multiplyConvert the mixed number to an improper fraction and multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction.
make each fraction a improper fraction the flip the second fraction and multiply straight across then simplify
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator to the product. The result is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 3/8 to an improper fraction, multiply 2*8 = 16, then add 3 to get 19. The improper fraction is 19/8.
