Mixed+Numbers+and+Improper+Fractions

Begin by reviewing the definitions of mixed numbers and improper fractions from your flashcards.


 * Changing Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions:**


 * Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction. Then, add the numerator to that product. This number will become your new numerator and you'll keep the same denominator. **


 * *If the mixed number is negative, ignore the negative sign when you change it to an improper fraction and put it back in at the end (see Example 2). **

Example 2:


 * Changing Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers:**

Divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator to see how many times it goes in evenly. The number of times the denominator goes in evenly becomes the whole number. The remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction and you keep the same denominator.


 * Remember to reduce your fraction in the end.
