Improper fractions are those for which the numerator (top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number). When they are changed to proper fractions, they are actually mixed numbers (a whole number and a fraction). In order to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number and the denominator, then add the numerator. Then, put you answer over the denominator of the fraction. For example:
5 3/8
5 times 8 equals 40, 40 plus 3 is 43. 43 becomes the numerator and 8 is still the denominator.
5 3/8 equals 43/8.
