Mixed Number - Whole Number: 1 Fraction: 5/8

Improper fraction - 13/8

Explanation:

With improper fractions the first thing that you want to do is multiply the whole number with the denominator (the number on the bottom of the fraction), then add the numerator (the number on the top of the fraction). You also want to keep the denominator the same in both fractions.

When working with converting mixed fractions into improper fractions it is kind of the opposite, but it is a little harder to explain. Let's take letter Q as an example. If you know that you cannot divide the numerator and the denominator in anyway to make a whole number, the whole number will become a one and the numerator is how many are left. so in this case the answer for Q would be 1 6/7, 1 being the whole number and 6 from 6+7=13. now let's look at letter R, you know you can divide 2 four times into 9, the whole number will be 4 and the fraction will be 1/2, 4x2+1=9. You can also double check that you did it right by turning it back into a improper fraction from the mixed number state by multiplying the denominator with the whole number, then adding the numerator. Hope that made sense, send me a DM if you need more help!

Answer 2

Explanation:

for mixed number to a improper fraction you take the whole number and times that by the denominator and add the numeriator

for example

`8 (3)/(8)`

8 x 8 = 64

64 + 3 = 67

and after you get your last number (67) you put that over your original denominator which is 8 so it would be

`(67)/(8)`

for the improper to mixed you see how many times you denominator goes into your numerator

another example is

`(13)/(7)`

7 goes into 13 twice so your whole number is 2 and you have a remaining 1 so it would look like

`2 (1)/(7)`
