multiplying the whole number by the

denominator (number found at
the bottom of the fraction bar) and adding the numerator (number found at the top of the
fraction bar). The answer will become the new numerator. Then, copy the same denominator.

How about if an improper fraction is given, and you are tasked to change it into a mixed

number? For example, change to a mixed number.

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, we will divide the numerator by the
denominator. The quotient will become the whole number and the remainder will become the
numerator of the fraction. Finally, copy the same denominator.

 A MIXED NUMBER or a mixed fraction is composed of a whole

number and fraction while an improper fraction has a numerator

which is greater than or equal to the denominator.
 To change a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the

whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator. The

answer will become the new numerator. Finally, copy the same
numerator.
 To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the

numerator by the denominator. The quotient will become the whole

number, while the remainder will become the numerator. Lastly, copy
the same denominator.
