How do you change a proper fraction into a whole or mixed number?

You cannot. By definition, a proper fraction is a number whose absolute value is between 0 and 1. There are no whole numbers between 0 and 1 so the number cannot be changed into a whole number. Also, since the absolute value is less than 1, it cannot be expressed as a mixed number.
