Answer:

see the explanation

Explanation:

we know that

A mixed number is equal to sum a integer plus a fraction less than 1. The result is a fraction where the numerator will be always greater than the denominator (This fraction is called an improper fraction)

Example


a(b)/(c) ----> a mixed number

a is a integer

b/c < 1

so


a(b)/(c)=a+(b)/(c)

Adds the integer plus the fraction


(ac+b)/(c) ---> an improper fraction


(ac+b)/(c) > 1
