How do I change a Mixed Number into an Improper Fraction?. First, look at your mixed number. 7 3/4. Next, race around the track! 7 3/4. Start with your numerator…4!. Multiply your numerator (4) times your whole number (7) 7 3/4. x.
E N D
Next, race around the track! 7 3/4 Start with your numerator…4!
Multiply your numerator (4) times your whole number (7) 7 3/4 x
7 x 4 = 28 + 3 = 31 Now, add your denominator…3 7 3/4 + x
7 x 4 +3 = 31 31 is your new numerator You keep 4 as your denominator
Your new fraction is… 31 7 ¾ = 31 4 4
Second, set up a division problem. Put 49 as the “Dividend”. 49 8 49
Third, place 8 as your “Divisor”. 49 8 8 49
Next, solve the problem! • 6 r 1 • 49 • -48 • 1 49 8
6 r 1 = 6 Wholes + 1 part of a whole • 6 r 1 • 49 • -48 • 1 49 8
Your divisor “8” = “How many parts in all” • 6 r 1 • 49 • -48 • 1 49 8
Your answer is 6 (and) 1/8 or6 1/8 6 r 1 8 49 49 8
Place the number 6 first…it is your whole number. 6(and)? 6 r 18 49
Next, place your remainder (1) as the “numerator” of your fraction… 61/? 6 r 1 49
Last, place your divisor (8) as the “denominator” of your fraction! 6 1/8 8 49
Your answer is… 6 1/8!!!
