How do you turn a mixed number into a proper fraction?
Mixed numbers cannot be turned into proper fractions, but they can be made into improper fractions by multiplying the integer (# on the side) by the denominator (bottom), and then adding that number to the numerator (top).
Why do mixed numbers need to be turned into improper fractions?
It helps with adding and multiplying fractions sometimes. Its simpler to multiply 3/7 x 9/7 than 1 2/7 x 3/7.
What are a score or more mathematical facts about fractions?
1 Fractions are parts of whole numbers or integers 2 Fractions have numerators above their denominators 3 Fractions have a solidus line that separates the numerator from the denominator 4 Fractions can be common as for example 3/4 5 Fractions can be improper or 'top heavy' as for example 22/7 6 Fractions can form part of a mixed number as for example 3 and 1/7 7 Fractions can be converted into percentages as for example 1/2 = 50% 8 Fractions can be converted into decimals as for example 3/4 = 0.75 9 Fractions can be equivalent as for example 5/8 = 10/16 10 Fractions need a common denominator when adding or subtracting them 11 Fractions can easily be multiplied or divided without a common denominator 12 Fractions are rational numbers 13 Fractions can never ever be irrational numbers 14 Fractions are turned into decimals by dividing the denominator into the numerator 15 Fractions can be turned into improper fractions from mixed numbers 16 Fractions are used in algebra and trigonometry 17 Fractions are used in converting Celsius into Fahrenheit 18 Fractions must first be eliminated when solving equations 19 Fractions can be the solutions of quadratic equations 20 Fractions can be turned into scientific notation: 1/5000 = 2.0*10^-4 21 Fractions are in their lowest therms when their HCF is 1 22 Fraction derives from a Latin word meaning to break apart 23 Fractions were used by the ancient Romans to a limited extent 24 Fractions can be the solutions of simultaneous equations 25 Fractions can be the x and y coordinates on the Cartesian plane
How do you turn a number into a fraction?
Not all numbers can be turned into fractions: it depends on the number.
