Converting Improper Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers. It defines improper fractions as those with numerators greater than or equal to denominators and mixed numbers as a combination of whole numbers and proper fractions. The conversion process involves dividing the numerator by the denominator, where the quotient becomes the whole number, the remainder becomes the new numerator, and the denominator remains unchanged. The tutorial provides examples with step-by-step instructions for converting 7/4 and 8/3 into mixed numbers.

What is an improper fraction?

• A fraction that cannot be simplified

• A fraction with a whole number and a proper fraction

• A fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator

• A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator

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

• Subtract the denominator from the numerator

• Multiply the numerator by the denominator

• Add the numerator and the denominator

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

In the example of 7/4, what is the whole number in the mixed number?

• 4

• 1

• 3

• 2

What is the remainder when 7 is divided by 4?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

In the example of 8/3, what is the whole number in the mixed number?

• 2

• 1

• 3

• 4

What is the remainder when 8 is divided by 3?

• 3

• 2

• 1

• 4

What remains the same when converting an improper fraction to a mixed number?

• The numerator

• The remainder

• The whole number

• The denominator

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

• Divide the numerator by the denominator

• Multiply the numerator by the denominator

• Add the numerator and the denominator

• Subtract the denominator from the numerator

What becomes the numerator in the mixed number?

• The original numerator

• The original denominator

• The quotient

• The remainder

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

• Subtract the remainder from the numerator

• Multiply the quotient by the denominator

• Use the same denominator

• Add the quotient to the remainder
