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

How do you convert a improper fraction to whole number?

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/.


How do you times a mixed fraction by a whole 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.
