Answer:

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

Explanation:

Example: Convert 3 2/5 to an improper fraction.

Multiply the whole number part by the denominator:

3 × 5 = 15

Add that to the numerator:

15 + 2 = 17

Then write that result above the denominator:

17/5
