Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. keep the demoninator the same

2. to find the numberator, multiply the demoninator number by the whole number, and add the product of that with the numerator number.

2 3/8 = 19/8

1. so, keep the denominator the same, which means that the denominator is 8

2. to find the numerator, you do:

8 times 2 = 16

16 + 3 = 19

therefore, the improper fraction of 2 3/8 is 19/8
