Answer:

divide the numerator by the denomantor

Explanation:

A fraction in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator, like 1/3 or 2/5 is called a proper fraction. A fraction in which the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator, like 5/2, 17/3, or 6/6 is called an improper fraction. (To put it another way, a fraction with a value less than 1 is a proper fraction. A fraction with a value greater than or equal to 1 is an improper fraction.)

As we have shown above, mixed numbers can be written as improper fractions. Similarly, improper fractions can be written as mixed numbers.
