Converting Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

  • Multiply the whole number by the fraction's denominator.
  • Add that to the numerator
  • Then write the result on top of the denominator.

Example:

Let's use 3 2/5 for example.

  • Multiply the whole number by the denominator:

3 x 5 = 15

  • Add that to the numerator:

15 + 2 = 17

  • Then write that result above the denominator:

17/5
