Divide the numerator by the denominator. The largest integer quotient is the whole number , the remainder is the numerator , and you use the same denominator.
Examples
15/7 = 2 plus remainder 1 = 2 1/7
32/30 = 1 plus remainder 2 = 1 2/30 = 1 1/15

Mixed numbers contain a whole number with a fraction sitting next to it. To turn this number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add it to the numerator.
Example:
6 7/8 is a mixed number.
6*8 + 7 = 55.
55/8 is the same number as an improper fraction.
turn them into improper fractions
you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
you cant turn improper fractions into fractions but you can turn fractions into mixed numbers. to do this you see how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. for example: if your improper fraction is 7/5, 5 goes into 7 one time but there is two left over. you just put that two on top of your denominator and it turns out 1 and 2/5.
To find the sum of two mixed numbers, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions (multiply the base with the denominator and add the numerator), then add the two fractions. To add the two fractions, find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and add the two numerators, but leave the denominators the same.
You multiply the denominator by the whole number and then you add the top half of the fraction to that number. You put the number you get over the original denominator and that is your answer.actually,you divide the numerator to the denominator or the other way around
