How do you convert each mixed number to improper fraction?

Answer 1

You multiply the outer (whole) number by the denominator and then add the numerator. You then place that answer over the original denominator.

For example, 2 3/4 you multiply the 2 by 4 and add 3. The answer would be 11/3.

Answer 2

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This sum becomes the new numerator, while the denominator remains unchanged. For example, to convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, multiply 3 by 2 and add 1, resulting in a numerator of 7. The denominator stays as 2, so the improper fraction is 7/2.
