Convert the following mixed fractions into improper fractions:

$5\frac{7}{12}$

Answer 1

Converting a mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

$\mathrm{Improper}\mathrm{fraction}=\frac{(\mathrm{whole}\mathrm{number}\times \mathrm{Denominator})+\mathrm{Numerator}}{\mathrm{Denominator}}$

$$\begin{gathered} 5\frac{7}{12}=\frac{(5\times 12)+7}{12} \\ =\frac{60+7}{12} \\ =\frac{67}{12} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, improper fraction will be $\frac{67}{12}$.
