Question

Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$12\frac{3}{7}$

Answer 1

Converting the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we have to multiply the whole number part with the denominator and add the numerator to the product. The denominator will remain the same.

Given, Mixed fraction $=12\frac{3}{7}$

Here, the whole number part $=12$

The numerator $=3$

The denominator $=7$

Multiplying the whole number part with the denominator and then adding the numerator to the product we got,

$\Rightarrow \left(12\times 7\right)+3=87$.

So, now the required improper fraction will be $\frac{87}{7}$

Hence, the mixed fraction $12\frac{3}{7}$ as an improper fraction is $\frac{87}{7}$.
