Question

Change the given mixed fraction into improper fraction $:$ $2\frac{3}{7}$

Answer 1

Step 1: Multiply the whole number part by the fraction’s denominator

Given mixed fraction is $2\frac{3}{7}$

Here $,$whole number is $2$ and proper fraction is $\frac{3}{7}$

$2$$\times$$7$$=$$14$

Step 2: Add the numerator to the product we are getting in step $1$

$14$$+3$$=$$17$

Step 3: Write the result on top of the denominator

$\frac{17}{7}$

As an alternative ‚ we can do all $3$ steps together $:$

$2\frac{3}{7}$$=$$\frac{\left(2\times 7\right)+3}{7}$ $=$ $\frac{\left(14\right)+3}{7}$ $=$$\frac{17}{7}$

Hence‚$\frac{17}{7}$ is the improper fraction of the mixed fraction $2\frac{3}{7}$
