An improper fraction has the top number ( numerator ) equal to or larger than the bottom number ( denominator ) such as 100 / 50 .
So divide the bottom number into the top number to get a whole number and any remainder would show up as a proper fraction.
Thus 100/50 = 2
and
103/50 = 2 and 3/50
You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
Convert it to an improper fraction and multiply.
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. 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 change the mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply its denominator by the whole number. Then, if required, convert back to a mixed fraction.
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.
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/.
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.
