By definition, a Mixed number is formed by a Whole number and a Proper fraction.

A Proper fraction is defined as that fraction whose numerator is smaller than the denominator.

An Improper fraction is defined as that fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

In order to put a Mixed number into an Improper fraction, you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the Whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Add the product obtained to the numerator of the fraction.

3. Write the same denominator.

Given the Mixed number:


7(4)/(9)

You can express it as an Improper fraction as following:


=((7\cdot9)+4)/(9)=(63+4)/(9)=(67)/(9)

The answer is:


(67)/(9)
