Firstly before I go over the necessary steps, you do know what an improper fraction is correct? Improper fractions are when the top number (numerator) is greater than the denominator.
Examples: 7/5 3/2 100/45
A mixed fraction is when a fraction obtains a whole number and a fraction. An example of this is presented in this very question, 5 5/9. Notice how '5' is by the fraction 5/9. This signals 5 is a whole number.
To change mixed to improper:
1: You must * or x (multiply) the whole number, in this case 5, to the denominator. Which is nine. That would give us the number 45.
2: After that, we simply add the numerator's value to the value we just gotten. I.e 45. That would be what? 50!
3: Then you just switch that answer with 9, and kick the 5 away. (Simpler bland terms: Put the new answer, which is 50, on top of the denominator.)
Prisms have rectangular lateral faces and pyramids have triangular lateral faces. In most cases, the lateral faces of both prisms and pyramids are angled toward the base or bases.
