Question

Write 4 1 /9 as an improper fraction.

Answer 1

`(37)/(9)`

Explanation:

Improper fractions are fractions in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction you multiply the whole number by the denominator.

So once you do that you will have
`(36)/(9)`.

However, this isn't complete just yet. You now need to add the numerator you had before, this can be written as
`(36)/(9) + (1)/(9)`.

Now you just solve and you'll end up with
`(37)/(9)`.

Answer 2

Answer: 37/9

Explanation:

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator

4 × 9 = 36

2. Add the product from Step 1 to the numerator

36 + 1 = 37

3. Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

37/9
