What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction, represented as a whole number followed by a fraction (e.g., 3 1/2). It is used to represent a quantity that is greater than one but less than two, essentially showing a whole number and a part of another whole.

How can a mixed number be written as an improper fraction?

To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fractional part, then add the result to the numerator of the fractional part. Next, place this sum over the original denominator to create the improper fraction. For example, to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 to an improper fraction, you would calculate (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3.

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator (top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (bottom number). These fractions represent values that are greater than or equal to 1, such as 5/3 or 7/4.

How can an improper fraction be written as a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number part of the result is the whole number of the mixed number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator while the denominator stays the same. This new fraction represents the fractional part of the mixed number.

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator. Place this sum over the original denominator to form the improper fraction. For example, to convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction, you would multiply 3 by 2 (denominator) which equals 6, then add the numerator 1 to get 7. Put 7 over the denominator 2 to get the improper fraction 7/2.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder will be the new numerator, while the denominator stays the same. Finally, write the whole number, fraction, and denominator together to form the mixed number.

What are the steps to add two mixed numbers?

To add two mixed numbers, first convert the fractions into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. Then add the two improper fractions together. Next, if the sum of the fractions is an improper fraction, convert it back into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number part and the remainder as the new numerator, then simplify if possible.

What are the steps to subtract two mixed numbers?

To subtract two mixed numbers, you first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then, you subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. If the numerator is larger than the denominator, you need to borrow from the whole number part and adjust the fraction accordingly. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.

How do you multiply a mixed number by a whole number?

To multiply a mixed number by a whole number, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply this improper fraction by the whole number. Simplify the result if possible. Finally, convert the answer back to a mixed number, if necessary.

How do you divide a mixed number by a whole number?

To divide a mixed number by a whole number, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the result to the numerator of the fraction. Divide this new numerator by the whole number.
