A mixed number is a mixed fraction of the form ab/c where a, b and c are positive integers with b < c.
Such a fraction is equivalent to (ac + b)/c and, since a > 0, then ac + b > c. Thus the numerator of the fraction in this form is greater than the denominator. A fraction in this form is called improper, top-heavy or vulgar.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.
turn them into improper fractions
you have to turn them into improper fractions before you multiply them.
you do what makes sense given the numbers, if the fractions work out beautifully, you can just leave them as mixed numbers, otherwise it's best to keep them as improper fractions
Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. In actually adding mixed numbers, it is easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper (top heavy) fractions, do the addition, simplify the resulting fraction and convert any resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number.
The easiest is to convert both mixed form numbers to improper fractions, do the subtraction (as normal1) and if the result is an improper fraction convert it to mixed form. 1 by converting the improper fractions to equivalent [improper] fractions with a common denominator and subtracting the resultant numerators.
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Improper fractions can be added the same way proper fractions are.
no.
turn them into improper fractions
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
Change the mixed numbers into improper fractions and carry out the calculations accordingly
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed.
In case of Proper fractions the numerator is lesser than the denominator. Whereas in case of improper fractions and mixed fractions the numerator is greater than denominator.
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Then, it is exactly the same as adding proper ones.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed the same way you would multiply two fractions.
turn them into improper fractions
Convert any mixed numbers to improper fractions. Once you have a fraction (proper or improper) do the division. 2/4 = 2 divided by 4 = 0.5
