Question

How do I change mixed numbers to improper fractions

Answer 1

Converting Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

• Multiply the whole number by the fraction's denominator.
• Add that to the numerator
• Then write the result on top of the denominator.                                            

Example:

Let's use 3 2/5 for example.

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator:

       3 x 5 = 15

• Add that to the numerator:

       15 + 2 = 17

• Then write that result above the denominator:

       17/5
