CONVERSION FROM MIX FRACTION TO IMPROPER FRACTION -
Converting a mixed fraction to an improper fraction involves combining the whole number part with the fractional part. Here are the steps to convert a mixed fraction (a mixed number) to an improper fraction:
Step 1:- Write down the whole number as the whole part of the improper fraction.
Step 2:- Multiply the denominator of the fractional part by the whole number and add the numerator to get the new numerator of the improper fraction.
Step 3:- Keep the same denominator for the improper fraction.
Let's go through an example:
1
Example.1) Convert 3 ------ to an improper fraction.
2
Ans.)
Step 1:- Write down the whole number (3) as the whole part of the improper fraction.
Step 2:- Multiply the denominator of the fractional part (2) by the whole number (3) and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator: 2 * 3 + 1 = 7.
Step 3:- Keep the same denominator (2) for the improper fraction.
1
The improper fraction is 7/2. So, 3 ----- is equivalent to 7/2. (Ans.)
2
Another way of understanding -
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, need to follow these steps:
Let's take an example:
1
Example.2) Convert the mixed fraction 3 ------ to an improper fraction.
2
Step 1:- Multiply the whole number part (3) by the denominator (4): 3 * 4 = 12
Step 2:- Add the result (12) to the numerator (1): 12 + 1 = 13
Step 3:- Keep the same denominator (4):
1
So, the improper fraction equivalent to 3 ----- is 13/4. (Ans.)
