Put them over 1. ie, 5 = 5/1.
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.
Subtract the given fraction from 1 and then add them together as for example:-
1 => 17/17 - 3/17 = 14/17 and 3/17+14/17 = 17/17 =>1
Whole numbers are positive numbers and there are no fractions or decimals.
All rational numbers are not whole numbers, as rational numbers can include fractions.
You don't "count with fractions". Counting is done with natural numbers.
Whole numbers are also known as integers because they have no fractions or decimals attached to them
