Question 1097054
To find the improper fraction, we need to set this word problem up as an equation.  We don't know what the numerator of the improper fraction is, but we know the denominator is 12 and we also know this improper fraction is equivalent to 10 1/4, which is equal to 41/4:


Our equation will then be


{{{n/12 = 41/4}}}


To find our numerator (n), we can multiply n by 4 and put that on the left of our equal sign, and multiply 12 by 41 and put that result on the right side of our equal sign, which gives us


4n = 492


Now we can divide both sides of our equation by 4, which will give us our numerator:


4n = 492 =====> n = 123


Therefore our improper fraction is {{{123/12}}}
