Best Answer

Mixed fractions can't become proper fractions. Mixed fractions are greater than one.

You can, however, change a mixed number into an IMPROPER fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator to become the new numerator over the original denominator, for example:

2 3/4 = (2×4+3)/4 = 11/4
