A mixed number is a whole number plus a fractional part. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number). You can convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions without changing the value of the figure.

Follow these 3 steps to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator

2. Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator

3. Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

A mixed number is a whole number plus a fractional part. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number). You can convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers without changing the value of the figure.

Follow these 3 steps to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number:

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator

2. From the answer, the quotient becomes the Whole Number and the remainder, the numerator.

3. The original denominator doesn't change so we keep it.

Note that if there is no remainder then the answer is just a whole number.
