Conversion of Mixed Fractions into Improper Fractions

To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the proper fraction and then to the product add the numerator of the fraction to get the numerator of the improper fraction. Its denominator is the same as the
denominator of the fractional part i.e.,

Mixed Fractions into Improper Fractions

In conversion of mixed fractions into improper fractions, we may follow the following steps:

Step I: Obtain the mixed fraction. 

Step II: Identify the whole number and the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) of the proper fraction.


Step III: Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the proper fraction and add the result to the numerator of the proper fraction.

Step IV: Write the fraction having numerator equal to the number obtained in step III and denominator same as the denominator of the fraction in step II. Thus,

Solution:

356 = 3×6+5618+56236



2. Express each of the following mixed fractions as improper fractions:

(i) Convert 847 into an improper fraction.

847 means 8 whole and 47.

Conversion of Mixed Fractions into Improper Fractions

                                                           47


Solution:

847 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 47

or, 847 = 77 + 77 + 77 + 77 + 77 + 77 + 77 + 77 + 47 = 607,           [77 means 1)

We can also convert a mixed number into an improper fraction as follows.

First multiply the whole number by denominator. Here (8 × 7) + 4 = 60. Now, put the sum as the numerator of the required improper fraction and the denominator remains the same.

847 = (8×7)+47 = 56+47 = 607

Thus, 847 = 607


(ii) 327

= (3×7)+27

= 21+27

= 237


(iii) 459

= (4×9)+59

= 36+59

= 419

(iv) 325

= (3×5)+25

= 15+25

= 175


(v) 714

= (7×4)+14

= 28+14

= 294


Conversion of a Mixed Fraction into an Improper Fraction:

3. Let us convert 545 into an improper fraction.

Step I: Multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator 5.  [5 × 5 = 25]

Step II: Add the numerator to it.   [25 + 4 = 29]

Step III: This gives the numerator of the improper fraction.  [297]

Denominator will remain the same. So. 545 = 297
