We are asked to convert 2 1/8 into an improper fraction (a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator).

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

• Follow three easy steps! ^-^

These are the steps:

1. Multiply the whole part (2) times the denominator (8). This gives us 16.
2. Now, add the numerator, 1: 17. This is the numerator of the new fraction.
3. Simplify if possible.

However, we cannot simplify 17/8, so that's our answer.

Hope it helps you out! :D
