Suppose you have a mixed fraction of the form ab/c where a, b and c are positive integers.
Multiply a * c = ac
Add b to this: ac + b
This is the numerator (top part) of your improper fraction.
The new denominator (bottom part) is the same as the old one, c
So the improper fraction = (ac+b)/c
Suppose the number was 34/5
3*5 = 15
15 + 4 = 19
The improper fraction is 19/5
