Question

Write as an improper fraction
8 1/2
(Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

`(17)/(2)`

Explanation:

To convert a mixed fraction to a improper fraction, you have to multiply the denominator (2) by the whole number (8). 8 multiplied by 2 is 16. Then add the numerator (1). 16+1=17. That becomes your numerator, the denominator (2) stays the same.
