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
