Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

This video tutorial explains how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions. It begins by defining mixed numbers, which consist of a whole number and a fractional part. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide on converting these into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. Several examples are given to illustrate the process, and viewers are encouraged to practice to master the skill.

What is the first step in converting a mixed number to an improper fraction?

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator

• Add the numerator to the denominator

• Divide the numerator by the whole number

• Subtract the denominator from the whole number

If a mixed number has a whole part of 2 and a fractional part of 2/3, how many total parts does it have?

• 6

• 8

• 7

• 5
