Converting Mixed Fraction into Improper Fraction.

CONVERTING MIXED FRACTION INTO IMPROPER FRACTION:

A mixed fraction can be converted into an improper fraction by using the below steps:

1. Find the product of the whole number and the denominator.

2. Add the numerator of the mixed fraction to the product; gives the numerator of the improper fraction.

3. Thus, Required Improper fraction = Numerator of Improper fraction /                      denominator.  

 

Covert the Mixed fractions into Improper fractions:

1)  6  3/4

Solution:

Given: whole number = 6 ; numerator = 3 ; denominator = 4.

a. Product of Whole number = 6 and the denominator = 4.

  Whole number x denominator = 6 x 4 = 24.

b. Adding numerator of the mixed fraction = 3 and the product obtain in before step.

Numerator + Product = 3 + 24 = 27: Numerator of the improper fraction.

c. Thus, the Improper fraction =  27/4.

 

2) 5  8/9

Solution:

Given: whole number = 5 ; numerator = 8 ; denominator = 9.

a. Product of whole number = 5 and the denominator = 9

Product = 5 x 9 = 45.

b. Numerator of the improper fraction = Adding numerator of the mixed fraction and product.

   Numerator of the improper fraction = 8 + 45 = 53.

c. Thus, Required Improper function =  53/9.

 

3) 8  4/9

Solution:

Given: Whole number = 8 ; numerator = 4 ; denominator = 9.

a. Product = whole number x denominator = 8 x 9 = 72.

b. Numerator of the improper fraction = Numerator + product

     =  4 + 72 = 76.

c. Thus, required improper fraction = 76/9.

 

4) 2  6/7

Solution:

Given: Whole number = 2 ; numerator = 6 ; denominator = 7.

a. Product = whole number x denominator = 2 x 7 = 14.

b. Numerator of the Improper fraction = Numerator + product

    = 6 + 14 = 20.

c. Thus, required Improper fraction = 20/7.

 

5) 8  4/5

Solution:

Whole number = 8 ; numerator = 4 ; denominator = 5.

a. Product = whole number x denominator = 8 x 5 = 40.

b. Numerator of the Improper fraction = Numerator + product

    = 4 + 40 = 44.

c. Thus, required Improper fraction = 44/5.
