From the title of your worksheet, you have to convert improper fractions to proper fractions. So, you see those two numbers on the top and the bottom separated by a line? Those are fractions. For example, 12/4 is an improper fraction.(I can't use the exact 'line' that separates it as its not on my keyboard, so I'm just using '/'.) In 12/4, 12 is 'on top'. The number on top is the numerator. And the number on the bottom, 4, is the denominator. 12/4 is an improper fraction as the numerator is bigger than the denominator. So, you can divide 12 by 4, giving you 3. 3 is a whole number as 12 could be divided by 4 without remainder, so that's your answer if you wanted to convert it into a proper fraction. That's just an example, though. Another example for things that have remainder when divided; let's use 13/4 for this example. 13 can't be divided by 4 perfectly, so you use the closest number that can be divided by 4, which is 12. But what happens to the the number left after using 12? 13-12=1. That's where the fraction comes along. The denominator was 4 in 13/4 so the proper fractions that you get is 3(the whole number) and 1/4(the one left after using 12). So, for that example, your answer's 3 1/4.(note that the whole number should be bigger than the fraction when you write it out.) Sorry for this really long answer. I didn't want to just give you the answer without you understanding it.
Anyway, for your questions in your worksheet. I'm starting from question 1 and not the example question in your worksheet.
1) 4 5/8 2) 10 3/10 3) 6 2/4 Or in simplest form if required: 6 1/2 4) 3 1/3 5) 5 3/8 6) 3 6/7 7) 10 9/10 8) 7 1/3 9) 7 4/5 10) 2 4/5 11) 4 1/2 12) 5 1/3 13) 9 2/8 Or in simplest form if required: 9 1/4 14) 5 2/3 15) 8 9/10 16) 8 3/4 17) 10 1/6 18) 1 2/6 19) 7 3/6 20) 10 7/10
( I put some spaces between the whole numbers and fractions so that it's not too complicating.) I apologize if I made any mistakes ^^;; Happy learning! :)
