An Improper Fraction is one were the numerator(top number) is greater than the denominator(bottom number).
They are often incorrectly named as 'Top heavy fractions'.
For the mixed number 8 4/5 , to make it into an improper fraction , multiply the denominator (5) with the coefficient (8) . Hence 5 x 8 = 40. Then add '4' (The numerator) to 40 . Hence 40 + 4 = 44 . Place over the denominator. Hence '44/5' ; the answer.
As an example here is another one 7 1/7 = 36/7.

8 ⁴/5 as an improper fraction is ⁴⁴/5
For some that may not understand how I got the final answer
Here's a clear explanation:
To turn a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, you must identify the numerator and denominator, which is 4 and 5 respectively
Now that we know the numerator and denominator we can do the easy math.
Multiply your denominator with the whole number, like so;
8×5 =40
Then move on to add the product to the denominator, like so;
40+4 =44
44 now becomes the numerator and 5 remains as the denominator.
8 4/5= 44/5 in improper fraction
improper form is when a mixed number (i.e. 1 2/3, 4 5/8, etc.) is written as a normal fraction (i.e. 1 2/3 improper is 5/3, 4 5/8 improper is 37/8, etc.)
5/8 cannot be written as an improper fraction.
As an improper fraction 5 8/11 is 63/11. To convert the number 11*5+8 to get 63 as the numerator.
