How do you change an improper fraction to a mixed number? - Answers

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction (as for division using the number), change the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fractional part, then add the numerators.To convert the whole number, multiply by the value of 1 as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are the same as your fraction's denominator.Example : Convert 3 5/8 to an improper fractionThe value of 1 used is 8/8, so the whole number 3 becomes (3x8)/8 or 24/8 and your total is3 5/8 = 24/8 + 5/8 = 29/8Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the numerator, and put the total over the denominator.Multiply the whole number times the denominator, add the numerator to that total and put that total over the denominator. Example: 3 and 1/2. 3 times 2 is 6 plus 1 is 7 over 2 is 7/2.Leave the denominator as it is. For the new numerator, multiply the whole part by the denominator and add the old numerator. So, ab/c = (a*c + b)/c
