Question

Convert the mixed number 1 2/3
to an improper fraction.

Answer 1

5/3

Explanation:

An improper fraction is a fraction, not in mixed form, where the numerator (top half) is greater than the denominator (bottom half). Since this fraction is 1 2/3, we already have 1 full and 2/3 full. So, since the 1 is full, it means that in fraction form it equals 3/3.

We can finally add the fractions.
`2/3+3/3=5/3`.
