You multiply the whole number by the denominator, then whatever that answer is you add the nominator to it. Then that's your new nominator. But the denominator in the mixed number is still the denominator.

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number part with the denominator, add the numerator and write the sum over the denominator.

Basically what this means is, you multiply the whole number of the mixed number times the denominator of the fraction part. After that, you add the numerator to the product. Finally, you replace the numerator with the product, keep the denominator the same, and get rid of the whole number.

Example: 23/5... 23 divided by 5 is 4...

4 would be the big number, the remainder would be the little number, and the previous denominator(5) would still be the denominator. :) So the answer woulde be 4 3/5

  • A fraction is when the numerator is smaller than the denominator and is in simplest form.
  • An improper fraction is when the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. So you have to see how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. that becomes your whole number and the remaining numbers become the numerator and you keep the denominator the same.
  • A mixed number is when you change an improper fraction to, the mixed number. It has to have a whole number and most of the time a fraction.
  1. Fraction: 3/4
  2. improper: 11/6
  3. mixed number: 11/6 -> 1 5/6

Multiply the denominator by the whole number. Add that total to the numerator. Put that result over the original denominator.
