You change a mixed number into an improper fraction by dividing the denominator(bottom) into the numerator(top). Then what is left over after a whole number is what is on the fraction's numerator. Example: 23/4 the mixed number is 5 3/4 Hope it helps! (fractions aren't about tickets, please label it correctly!)

In order to turn a whole number into an improper fraction you need to decide what fraction you want it to be. Turning a whole number into an improper fraction allows you to chose any fraction.

E.G 1/2; 1/3; 1/4; 1/5; ECT...

After you have chosen what fraction, for this example I will chose quarters, take the full fraction, in this case 4/4 and the top number by the unit you have.

E.G #1:

My Whole Number Is - 12

My Fraction is 4/4

4*12 = 48

48/4 therefore = 12

E.G. #2:

My Whole Number Is - 1489

My Fraction is 9/9

9*1489 = 13401

13401/9 = 1489

To turn an improper fraction into a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The result will be the whole number. Put the remainder over the original denominator. Example: 11/7

Seven goes into eleven one time with four left over. The answer is 1 and 4/7

You could convert 3 to 2 and 4/4, or 2 and 6/6. Anything over itself is one.

It depends on how many places the decimal is. 1.9 = 19/10, 2.37 = 237/100,

5.877 = 5877/1000
