1. Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers
Improper Fraction: The numerator is larger than the denominator.
To convert to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator.
Example:
Convert 7/4
7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3
So, 7/4 = 1 3/4
2. Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions
To convert, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator.
Put that number over the original denominator.
Example:
Convert 2 1/3
2 × 3 = 6
6 + 1 = 7
So, 2 1/3 = 7/3
