How to change proper fractions to improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

You already know that proper fractions have numerators smaller than the denominators, such as 1/2, 2/10 or 3/4, making them equal less than 1. The improper fraction has a numerator larger than the denominator. And mixed numbers have a whole number sitting next to a proper fraction -- for example, 4 3/6 or 1 1/2. As you work on converting improper fractions, you’ll find yourself using your knowledge of division.

Write down the improper fraction -- for example, 27/6. The fraction bar means you need to divide 27 by 6.

Divide 27 by 6. The answer is 4, with a remainder of 3. Use the answer as the whole number part of the mixed number, and place the remainder over the original denominator: 4 3/6.

Reduce the fraction, if necessary. For example, 3/6 equals 1/2 (the lowest common denominator of 3 and 6 is 3, so divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3 to reduce the fraction to 1/2).

If it is a mixed number fraction:  1 1/2

1. multiple the whole number and the denominator 2 x 1 = 2

2. Add that to the numerator 2+1= 3

*Denominator stays the same

3. example answer is...  3/2

only mixed numbers can be converted into improper fractions

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
