What is a fraction?

A fraction is a fragment of a whole number, used to define parts of a whole. The whole can be a whole object or many different objects. The number at the top of the line is called the numerator, whereas the bottom is called the denominator.

To convert 2
`(1)/(2)` into an improper fraction, we can take 2 and multiply that by 2.

Why do we multiply by 2?

We multiply by 2 because if the fraction is
`(1)/(2)`, we need to multiply the number of whole numbers (2) by the denominator (2).

• 2 × 2 = 4

Now add
`(4)/(2)` to
`(1)/(2)`:

• 
  `(4)/(2) +(1)/(2) =(5)/(2)`

Therefore, 2 1/2 as an improper fraction is 5/2.
