Question

How do I write 5 7/8 as an improper fraction

Answer 1

5 7/8 as an improper fraction would be 47/8!

To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, you need to do this:

1. Multiply the whole number to the denominator (lower number of the fraction), which in this case is 8. So 5 X 8 = 40.

2. Add the resulting number to the numerator (also known as the top fraction value). 7 + 40 = 47.

3. Take away the whole number and leave the fraction with the previous number as the numerator and the denominator the same!

So we end up with 47/8!

Hope that helps!
