Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions


Remember, mixed fractions (or mixed numbers) are of the form:


numerator
whole part ----------------
denominator

So we can see that: whole_part=7, numerator=2, and denominator=3

Now follow these steps to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

Step 1) First, multiply the whole part 7 by the denominator 3 to get 7%2A3=21.

Step 2) Now add that result to the numerator 2 to get 21%2B2=23. This result is the new numerator. The denominator will remain the same.

Step 3) Place the new numerator 23 over the original denominator 3 to get 23%2F3

=============================

Answer:

So, 7%262%2F3=23%2F3
