For example, 5 2/3 = 17/3. The way to get this is to multiply the integer part (in the example, 5) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2). In this case, 5 x 3 + 2 = 17. This number is placed as the numerator; the denominator is the same as in the original fraction.
You do not do anything. An improper fraction IS a real number.
You can't. Improper and proper fractions are two different things. You can convert an improper fraction to a mixed number.
You take the bottom number and divided by the top number.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator to the product. The result is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 3/8 to an improper fraction, multiply 2*8 = 16, then add 3 to get 19. The improper fraction is 19/8.
Convert it to an improper fraction and multiply.

As an example , let the improper fraction be '3/2' . For any fraction, of any number, the denominator (bottom) is divided into the numerator(top) So for 3/2 , you divide '3' by '2'. This gives an answer of '1' and a remainder of '1'. The answer of '1' is the coefficient(large number at the start of the fraction), and the remainder of '1' becomes the numerator of the fraction over '2' the denominator. Hence 3/2 = 1 1/2. Similarly 5/4 = 1 1/4 Similarly 18/7 = 2 4/7 et seq/.
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
Cancellation cannot be used to convert a mixed number into an improper fraction.
As an example 2 3/5 X 7 First convert the mixed number to an improper fraqction Hence 2 3/5 = 13/5 Next we convert the '7' to an improper fraction by placing it over a trivial '1'. Hence '7' = '7/1'. Re-writing 13/5 x 7/1 We separate;y multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together. Hence 13/5 X 7/1 = 91/5 Finally we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction by dividing by '5' , which will give an answer of '18' and a remainder of '1' Hence it is re-written as ' 18 1/5 '. The answer. NB Whenthe numbers become large , look to see if you can cancel down /reduce. So amending the above numbers slightly. 2 3/5 X 5 = > 13/5 X 5/1 In this case '5' is a common factor ; top & bottom'. so we cancel down by '5' Hence 13/1 X 1/1 proceeding as before. 13 / 1 = 13 The answer!!!!! These methods are good for any set of frqactional numbers.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
You take the bottom number and divided by the top number.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Convert the whole number to a fraction with a common denominator. Proceed with the subtraction.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator to the product. The result is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 3/8 to an improper fraction, multiply 2*8 = 16, then add 3 to get 19. The improper fraction is 19/8.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
