Mixed Numbers
As part of multiplying or dividing fractions, mixed numbers are turned into improper fractions. Use the existing fractional denominator and multiply the numerator by the whole number.
Example :
3 1/5 as a fraction is [ 3 x 5/5 ] + 1/5 or 15/5 + 1/5 = 16/5.
As a general rule, proper fractions cannot turn into whole numbers and only in limited cases are improper fractions able to.
The only way a fraction becomes a whole number is if the numerator is a multiple of the denominator.
