Divide the numerator of the improper fraction by the denominator 15 15 = 1 2. a. If you have no remainder, the quotient is a whole number 16 1 5 5 3 R 1 5 16 15 1 = 3 2 b. If you have a remainder, the quotient is a mixed remainder is placed over the old denominator as the proper fraction of the mixed number. 6 Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions 2-7 3 Steps 1. Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number. (8 x 6) = 48 1 8 6 (8 x 6) = 48 48 + 1 = 49 2. Add the product from Step 1 to the numerator of the old fraction. 49 8 3. Place the total from Step 2 over the denominator of the old fraction to get the improper .
