An improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator. For example, 6/5 is an improper fraction. A mixed number consists of the sum of a whole number and a fraction. For example 11/5 (which is really 1 + 1/5) is a mixed number. We will practice going back and forth between the two forms.
To convert a mixed number into an
improper fraction, first multiply the whole number by the fraction’s denominator. Next add this to
the numerator. The sum
is the new numerator.

There is a close relationship between
improper fractions and division of whole numbers. First let us review the parts of a division
problem.
To convert an improper fraction to a
mixed number, divide the numerator into the denominator. The remainder will be the new numerator
and the quotient will be
the whole number.
