How to use it
A mixed number such as 2 3/4 is a whole number plus a fraction. To make it an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator and keep the denominator: 2 × 4 + 3 = 11, so 2 3/4 = 11/4.
To go the other way, divide the numerator by the denominator: the quotient is the whole part and the remainder goes over the denominator. 11 ÷ 4 = 2 remainder 3, so 11/4 = 2 3/4.
