Question 120817
Do you want to convert this into an improper fraction?



{{{3&13/3}}} Start with the given mixed fraction.



{{{3+13/3}}} Expand. Remember {{{3&13/3}}} is the same as {{{3+13/3}}}.



{{{9/3+13/3}}} Multiply the whole number {{{3}}} by the denominator {{{3}}} to get {{{9}}}. Now replace the whole number {{{3}}} with {{{9/3}}} (notice how  {{{3=9/3}}}).



{{{(9+13)/3}}} Now combine the fractions by combining the numerators.



{{{22/3}}} Now combine the fractions by combining the numerators.


So the mixed fraction {{{3&13/3}}} is the improper fraction  {{{22/3}}}.
