HOW DO YOU FIND AN INPROPER FRACTION?
You first change 1 forth to 1 fourth because otherwise it has no meaning. Then, 6 / (1/4) = 6 * (4/1) = 24/1 = 24, which is an integer, not an inproper (not inproper!) fraction.
The way that you change that fraction into an inproper fraction is by multiplying the 3 and the 9, then add the 2, and you divide it all by 3. So the answer would be 29 over 3.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then multiply that by the numerator. Put that answer over the original denominator.
