2. MIXED NUMBERS & IMPROPER FRACTIONS

3. Presentation Before Thanksgiving Break, we learned how to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions by finding common denominators, making equivalent fractions, simplifying, and finding the reciprocal (division only). Today, you will be converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed numbers. We will use key words convert, mixed number, and improper fraction.

4. Vocabulary convert – to change from one form to another mixed number – a whole number and a fraction improper fraction – a fraction larger than one whole; the numerator is larger than the denominator

5. Mixed Numbers A mixed number has a part that is a whole and a part that is a fraction. = 1 3 4

6. Mixed Number → Improper Fraction 1.Multiply the whole number times the denominator 2.Add your answer to the numerator 3.Put that number over the denominator = 5 2 Multiply the whole number times the denominator Add the numerator 2 1 2 2 1 2 x + 5 Put that number over the denominator 2

7. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 9 2 1 2 4

8. 17 5 2 5 3

9. Improper Fractions A fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. = 8 4

10. Write the improper fraction: = 19 4

11. Improper Fraction → Mixed Number 1.Divide the numerator by the denominator 2.Put the remainder over the denominator = 5 2 52 2 4 1 R 1 Divide the numerator by the denominator Write the remainder over the denominator 2 2 1 2

12. Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: 7 3 1 3 2

13. 8 3 2 3 2

14. 9 2 1 2 4

15. 11 5 1 5 2

16. Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: 10 5 2 If there is no remainder then your answer is a whole number!

17. Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: 16 4 4
