CONVERSION OF MIXED NUMBER INTO IMPROPER FRACTION -
When converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, we calculate the numerator in the following steps:
Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator
Step 2: Add to the numerator of the fractional part
The denominator is not changed.
As we know that -
Reminder
Mix Fraction = Quotient ------------
Divisor
(Quotient X Divisor) + Reminder
Now, Improper Fraction = ------------------------------
