Well, honey, converting an improper fraction to a mixed number is as easy as pie. You just divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number part is the result of the division, and the remainder becomes the new numerator while the denominator stays the same. Voila, you've got yourself a mixed number!

Treat like a division problem. The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part, the denominator is the divisor (the number that you're dividing by).
example:
13
-----
4
divide 13 ÷ 4 which is 3... with 1 left over (remainder). so your answer would be:
3 ¼ (three and one fourth.)
because you divide by the original denominator [4].
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
22/7 = 3 and 1/7
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed.
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
