Convert to an improper fraction

Converting Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions

1. Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

2. Add that to the numerator 3. Write that result on top of the denominator.

To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

Let’s try another example

together!

Divide the whole number by the denominator:

15 ÷ 8 = 1 with remainder of 7

Place the remainder above the denominator

like this:

1⅞ = 15

8

Convert to a mixed fraction
