Answer:

Multiply the whole number with the denominator of the proper fraction. Add the numerator of the proper fraction to this product to obtain the numerator of the improper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us convert 3¼ into an improper fraction.

Numerator of the improper fraction = (3 × 4) + 1 = 13

The denominator of the fraction will stay the same = 4

Hence 3¼ converted into an improper fraction will be 13/4
