An improper fraction has a numerator (the number above the line) that is larger than the denominator (the number below the line)
If you have a whole number and a fraction then it is a matter of multiplying the denominator of the fractional part with the whole number and adding that to the numerator.
Example6 3/5
= 30/5 + 3/5 = 33/5

Improper fractions can't become proper fractions.
Turn the proper fraction into an improper fraction.
You can't. That is a proper fraction. You can only turn improper fractions into mixed numbers
It does not matter if it is a proper fraction or an improper one. The proper method is to carry out a long division, although you may be able to take short cuts if you know fractions of 10 or 100.
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).
