How do you change a mixed fraction to an improper fraction?

Answer 1

Add the numerator to the product of the whole number and denominator, and write that over the denominator.

For example:

2 3/5 = (2x5 + 3)/5 = 13/5

4 5/7 = (4x7 + 5)/7 = 33/7
Multiply denominator to the whole number then add it to the numerator then the answer will be the numerator then copy the denominator

Example:

4 5/7

7*4=28+5= 33/7

remember just copy the denominator

so..

4 5/7 = 33/7

Answer 2

I'll give you an example since it is hard to just TELL you.

17/8 [How many 8s are in 17... there are 2 since 2x8=16 therefore your whole number is 2]

2 ... [Now what is your fraction... how many do you have left over. take away 16 from the 17... well there is 1 left over so you put 1/8 as your fraction

2 1/8 [this is your final answer to 17/8]

2 1/8 = 17/8

Here is another example

28/3 [How many 3s are in 28... there are 9 since 3x9=27 therefor your whole number is 9

9 ... [Now what is your fraction... how many do you have left over. take away 27 from 28 and you have 1 left over so you put 1/3 as your fraction]

9 1/3 [this is your final answer to 28/3]

9 1/3 = 28/3

Here is last example. It is a large one.

54/5 [How many 5s are in 5... there are 10 since 5x10=50 therefore your whole number is 10]

10 ... [Now what is your fraction... how many do you have left over. take away 50 from 54 and you have 4 left over. so you put 4/5 as your fraction]

10 4/5 [This is your final answer to 54/5]

10 4/5 = 54/5
