What are improper fractions?
An improper fraction is a fraction with the numerator (the top number) being higher than the denominator (the bottom number). For example, 13/5 is an improper fraction because the top number is greater than the bottom number. To change it to a mixed number (which is a number with a fraction and a whole number), you divide the numerator by the denominator, which = 23/5
How do you divide a fraction and amixed number?
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
