Converting Improper fraction to Mixed fraction
Converting Mixed Fraction to Improper Fraction
A mixed fraction represents a whole and a fraction together.
We will understand converting a mixed fraction into an improper fraction by following the two methods given below.
- Visual Approach
- Mathematical Approach
Method #1: Visual Approach
Click through the slideshow to understand how to visually convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
Method #2: Mathematical Approach
Steps to follow:
Step #1: Multiply the denominator by a whole number.
Step #2: Add the product and the numerator.
Use MeandMath’s Don’t Worry Now! mnemonic to remember the sequence.
Don’t starts with D, which stands for Denominator.
Worry starts with W, which stands for Whole.
Now starts with N, which stands for Numerator.
DxW+N.
Answer+N
Remember: Multiply before addition.
Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Fractions
Improper Fractions have the Numerator greater than the Denominator.
Improper fractions represent a fraction of more than a whole.
We will understand converting an improper fraction into a mixed fraction by following the two methods given below.
- Visual Approach
- Mathematical Approach
Remember: While converting, the denominator stays the same. Only the numerator changes.
Method #1: Visual Approach
Click through the slideshow to understand how to visually convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
Method #2: Mathematical Approach
Steps to follow:
Step #1: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Step #2: Label the divisor as D, the quotient as Q, and the remainder as R.
Step #3: Place them using Queen’s Diamond Ring representation.
Re
Use MeandMath’s Queen’s Diamond Ring mnemonic to remember the sequence.
Queen’s starts with Q, which stands for quotient. The quotient represents the whole.
Diamond starts with D, which stands for divisor. The divisor represents the denominator.
Ring starts with R, which stands for remainder. The remainder represents the numerator.
