For the first number, we convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:

0. Divide 18 by 8:

2. The result is 2 with a remainder of 2 which we write as 2/8.


(18)/(8)=2(2)/(8)

Now, we can simplify this fraction


(2)/(8)=(2\cdot1)/(2\cdot4)=(1)/(4)

Therefore, 18/8 written as a mixed number is:


$$\boldsymbol{(18)/(8)=2(1)/(4)}$$

For the second number, we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:


1(7)/(12)=(12\cdot1+7)/(12)=(12+7)/(12)=(19)/(12)

Therefore, 1 7/12 written as an improper fraction is:


$$\boldsymbol{1(7)/(12)=(19)/(12)}$$
