Answer:

379/47

Explanation:

An improper fraction is a fraction that has a larger number in the numerator than the denominator.

Remember, a fraction is numerator over denominator.

So first we need to convert 8 into x/47.

We can do this by multiplying 8 by 47/47.

8 equals 8/1 and now we can set up the expression.

8/1*47/47=376/47

We did that by multiplying the denominators together and the numerators together.

Now we add 3/47 to that.

376/47+3/47=379/47

Since there is a common denominator we just had to add the numerators together.

Therefore, the answer would be 379/47
