How do you make a proper fraction an improper fraction?
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.
How to solve a whole number minus a fraction?
You can convert a whole number to an equivalent fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction you're subtracting 5 - 3/8 = 40/8 - 3/8 = 37/8 = 4 and 5/8
When you divide a whole number by a fraction with a numerator of 1 explain how you find the quotient?
You simply multiply the whole number by the denominator. A whole number divided by a fraction is the whole number times the inverse of the fraction. For example, 8 divided by 1/4 is 8 times 4 = 32.

Is it true that eight eighths make one whole?
Yes. The fraction 8/8 equals 1 because you can divide the numerator and denominator by the same number to make an equivalent fraction. 8/8 = 1/1 = 1
The improper fraction of one and seven eighths?
1 and 7/8. To put that as an improper fraction you have to multiply the denominator by the whole number (so 8 times 1 which equals 8) and then add what is in the numerator (8+7 which equals 15). You then take that number and put it over the original denominator. So 1 and 7/8 would be equal to 15/8.

What is the mixed number or whole number of improper fraction 25 8?
3 and 1/8
What is 5 over 8 as a whole number?
5 over 8 can't be a whole number, as it is a fraction, a part of the whole.Slice a pie into 8 pieces. Each piece is an 8th of the whole pie. Only when the pie is whole can it be said to be a whole number - which would be 8. Remove a slice and the pie becomes a fraction.
