To do this, subtract the denominator of the improper fraction from the numerator, then add 1 to the whole number. Repeat this until the numerator is less than the denominator.
Example: 9/2 --> mixed number
9/2
1 7/2
2 5/2
3 3/2
4 1/2

You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
You can't. Improper and proper fractions are two different things. You can convert an improper fraction to a mixed number.
WE just have to check if the numerator is greater than the denominator. Eg: 8/3 is an improper fraction. Every mixed fraction is an improper fraction.
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
It is best to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. They are then added together in the same way as proper fractions are added together.
