Convert mixed number into improper fraction?

Answer 1

Divide the integer part by the denominator, and add the numerator. Put the result over the denominator. Example: 5 2/3 (five and two-thirds): multiply 5 x 3, add 2. Result is 17. Now put 17 over the original denominator, and you get 17/3.

Answer 2

Multiply the denominator by the whole number, and add the numerator. Put the result over the denominator. Example: 5 2/3 (five and two-thirds): (3 x 5 + 2)/3 = 17/3
