Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Learning Objective
I can change improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Key Concepts
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator; the quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part.
The mixed number 1 and 3/4 means one whole plus 3 pieces that are each 1/4.
