If you have an improper fraction, simply divide the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom). Take the remainder and put it over the denominator, and stick the whole numbers in front of the new fraction.
Ex: 41/30 into a mixed number
41/30 is 1 with a remainder of 11. Put the 11 over 30, and put 1 in front. Answer: 1 11/30.
An improper fraction is a fraction of the form a/b where a and b are integers and a > b > 0.
Divide a by b to give a = q*b + r where q is the whole number of times that b goes into a and r is the remainder. Since division is by b, 0 ≤ r < b, and the mixed number is
qr/b.
or example, 23/5
23 = 4*5 + 3
So, 23/5 = 43/5

An improper fraction has a numerator equal to or greater than the denominator. A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. I'm not sure what a mixed improper fraction is. Whatever. To reduce any kind of fraction to its simplest form, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator. If the GCF is 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form. If not, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF. The result will be the simplest form.
My strategy for multiplying mixed fractions: what you need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction before you do any thing else. to do that you need to multiply the denominator with the whole number then add the numerator. now that number will be your numerator the denominator stays the same then you do the same to the other mixed fraction turn it into an improper fraction then once both are like that you multiply the numerators together to find the numerator then you multiply the denominators together to get the denominator then simplify your answer to get the right answer.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. 20/9
First turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. Then reverse the numerator and denominator of the fraction. For example, 1 1/2 = 3/2 The reciprocal of 3/2 is 2/3.
Turn the mixed fraction into an improper one, then divide the denominator into the numerator. 3 and 1/4 = 13/4 = 3.25
