Multiply the whole number and the bottom # of the fraction, add the total with the top # of the fraction, then put over the bottom # of the fraction (ex 2 3/4 -> 4x2+3 -> 11/4)
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.
You take the bottom number and divided by the top number.

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.
Cancellation cannot be used to convert a mixed number into an improper fraction.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
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.
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)

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.
Convert it to an improper fraction.
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.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed normally.
