Knowledge to convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions is necessary to solve problems on fractions. For converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, multiply the whole number and denominator and add it to the numerator. This will be the numerator of the improper fraction. For eg. 5 3/4 = (5 x 4 + 3)/4 = 23/4. For converting improper fraction to mixed number (or mixed fraction), divide the numerator by denominator. The quotient is the “whole” and remainder/denominator is the “fraction part”. For eg. 25/4 gives 6 as the quotient and 1 as the remainder. Therefore 25/4 = 6 1/4.
