### What is Meant by Mixed Fraction to Improper Fraction?

In mathematics, the fraction is defined as the ratio of two numbers and it is represented using the form “x/y” or “numerator value/denominator value”. The fraction can be categorized into three different types. The types of fractions are:

Proper Fraction: If the numerator value is smaller than the denominator value, then it is called a proper fraction. Example 6/7

Improper Fraction: If the numerator value is larger than the denominator value, then it is called an improper fraction. Example 9/8

Mixed Fraction: The mixed fraction is defined as the combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. Example 5 ¾.

In order to convert the  mixed fraction into an improper fraction, follow the below procedure:

Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator of a fraction

Step 2: Now, add the obtained value with the numerator value. This should be the new numerator value of a fraction

Step 3: keep the same denominator value, and finally you get an improper fraction

### Solved Examples on Mixed Fraction to Improper Fraction

Example 1:

Convert 5 ½ into an improper fraction.

Solution:

Given Mixed fraction is 5 ½

Step 1: Multiply 5 by 2: 5 × 2 = 10

Step 2: Add 10 with 1: 10+1 = 11 (New numerator value).

Hence, the improper fraction is 11/2.

Example 2:

Convert -4 ¾ into an improper fraction

Solution:

Given mixed fraction is -4 ¾

Step 1: -4 × 4 = -16

Step 2: -16+3 = -13

Step 3: -13/4

Hence, the obtained improper fraction is -13/4
