Question 605404
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


In general, here is the process to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:


Let *[tex \LARGE W] represent the whole number part of the mixed number, let *[tex \LARGE d] represent the denominator of the fraction part, and let *[tex \LARGE n] represent the numerator part of the fraction part, then the improper fraction equivalent of the mixed number is:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{Wd\ +\ n}{d}]


In other words, multiply the denominator of the fraction part times the whole number part and add the product to the numerator.


For example:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\ \frac{1}{4}]


Four times two is eight plus one is nine -- nine is the new numerator and the denominator remains the same.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{9}{4}]

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
