Conversion of Improper Fractions into Mixed Fractions
In conversion of improper fractions into mixed fractions, we follow the following steps:
Step I:
Obtain the improper fraction.
Step II:
Divide the numerator by the denominator and obtain the quotient and remainder.
Step III:
Write the mixed fraction as: Quotient\(\frac{Remainder}{Denominator}\).
Let us convert \(\frac{7}{5}\) into a mixed number.
As you know
if a fraction has same number as numerator and denominator, it makes a
whole. Here in \(\frac{7}{5}\) we can take out \(\frac{5}{5}\) to make a
whole and the remaining fraction we have is \(\frac{2}{5}\). So,
\(\frac{7}{5}\) can be written in mixed numbers as 1\(\frac{2}{5}\).
\(\frac{5}{5}\) = 1 + \(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{7}{5}\) = \(\frac{5}{5}\) + \(\frac{2}{5}\) = 1 + \(\frac{2}{5 }\) = 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
Actually, \(\frac{7}{5}\) means 7 ÷ 5. When we divide 7 by 5 we get 1 as
quotient and 2 as remainder. To convert an improper fraction into a
mixed number we place the quotient 1 as the whole number, the remainder 2
as the numerator and the divisor 5 as the denominator of the proper
fraction.

For Example:
1. Express each of the following improper fractions as mixed fractions:
(i) \(\frac{17}{4}\)
We have,
Therefore, Quotient = 4, Remainder = 1, Denominator = 4.
Hence, \(\frac{17}{4}\) = 4\(\frac{1}{4}\)
(ii) \(\frac{13}{5}\)
We have,
Therefore, Quotient = 2, Remainder = 3, Denominator = 5.
Hence, \(\frac{13}{5}\) = 2\(\frac{3}{5}\)
(iii) \(\frac{28}{5}\)
We have,
Therefore, Quotient = 5, Remainder = 3, Denominator = 5
Hence, \(\frac{28}{5}\) = 5\(\frac{3}{5}\).
(iv) \(\frac{28}{9}\)
We have,
Therefore, Quotient = 3, Remainder = 1, Denominator = 9
Hence, \(\frac{28}{9}\) = 3\(\frac{1}{9}\).
(v) \(\frac{226}{15}\)
We have,
Therefore, Quotient = 15, Remainder = 1, Denominator = 15
Hence, \(\frac{226}{15}\) = 15\(\frac{1}{15}\).
Conversion of an Improper Fraction Into a Mixed Fraction:
2. Let us convert 22/5 into an mixed fraction.
Divide the numerator 22 by the denominator 5.
The quotient 4 gives the whole number. The remainder 2 is the numerator of the fractions.
The denominator of the fraction remains the same. So, \(\frac{22}{5}\) = 4\(\frac{2}{5}\)
3. Convert \(\frac{41}{3}\) into mixed fraction.
Divide the numerator 41 by the denominator 3.
The quotient 13 gives the whole number. The remainder 2 is the numerator of the fractions.
The denominator of the fraction remains the same.
So, \(\frac{41}{3}\) = 13\(\frac{2}{3}\)

In conversion of mixed fractions into improper fractions, we may follow the following steps: Step I: Obtain the mixed fraction. Let the mixed fraction be 22/5. Step II: Identify the whole number
The three types of fractions are : Proper fraction, Improper fraction, Mixed fraction, Proper fraction: Fractions whose numerators are less than the denominators are called proper fractions. (Numerator < denominator). Two parts are shaded in the above diagram.
The fractions having the same value are called equivalent fractions. Their numerator and denominator can be different but, they represent the same part of a whole. We can see the shade portion with respect to the whole shape in the figures from (i) to (viii) In; (i) Shaded
To find the difference between like fractions we subtract the smaller numerator from the greater numerator. In subtraction of fractions having the same denominator, we just need to subtract the numerators of the fractions.
Any two like fractions can be compared by comparing their numerators. The fraction with larger numerator is greater than the fraction with smaller numerator, for example \(\frac{7}{13}\) > \(\frac{2}{13}\) because 7 > 2. In comparison of like fractions here are some
In comparison of fractions having the same numerator the following rectangular figures having the same lengths are divided in different parts to show different denominators. 3/10 < 3/5 < 3/4 or 3/4 > 3/5 > 3/10 In the fractions having the same numerator, that fraction is
Like and unlike fractions are the two groups of fractions: (i) 1/5, 3/5, 2/5, 4/5, 6/5 (ii) 3/4, 5/6, 1/3, 4/7, 9/9 In group (i) the denominator of each fraction is 5, i.e., the denominators of the fractions are equal. The fractions with the same denominators are called
Fraction of a whole numbers are explained here with 4 following examples. There are three shapes: (a) circle-shape (b) rectangle-shape and (c) square-shape. Each one is divided into 4 equal parts. One part is shaded, i.e., one-fourth of the shape is shaded and three

What is the difference between proper fraction and improper fraction? Proper fraction: The fractions 1/4, 3/8, 5/11, 9/13, 14/25, etc. are the fractions where the numerators are smaller than
How to find fraction as a part of collection? Let there be 14 rectangles forming a box or rectangle. Thus, it can be said that there is a collection of 14 rectangles, 2 rectangles in each row. If it is folded into two halves, each half will have 7 rectangles. So, we can say
What are the numerator and denominator of a fraction? We have already learnt that a fraction is written with two numbers arranged one over the other and separated by a line.
In comparison of unlike fractions, we change the unlike fractions to like fractions and then compare. To compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, we multiply by a number to convert them to like fractions. Let us consider some of the
