How do you write an improper fraction as a whole or mixed number?

Answer 1

Mixed numbers include both integers and fractions. Example : 1 1/2

Improper fractions have a larger numerator than denominator (they have a value greater than 1).

Example : 14/7

These forms are interchangeable. Multiplying the whole number by the denominator, and adding, will change a mixed number to an improper fraction.

2 3/4 = [(2x4) + 3] / 4 = 11/4

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator, and combine the whole number with the remaining fraction.

15/7 = 2 plus remainder 1 = 2 1/7

Answer 2

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator. For example, to convert 7/3 to a mixed number, you divide 7 by 3 to get 2 with a remainder of 1, so 7/3 is equal to 2 1/3.

Answer 3

4 1/4 + 2 1/12=
