Sagot :

Answer:

A fraction with a greater numerator (top number) than denominator (bottom number) is called an improper fraction.

To change a mixed number to an improper fraction:

  • Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator of the fraction - place this number as the numerator in the new fraction.
  • Copy the denominator of the fraction to the denominator of the new fraction.
