1.Multiply the whole number by the denominator.
2.Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator.
3.Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator.
Example:
2 3/4
You would multiply 4 (the denominator) by 2 (the whole number) which would leave you with 8. You would then add 8 and 3(the numerator) resulting in the sum of 11.
Eleven would be placed in the numerator area, while the denominator of four would stay the same - 11/4.
