Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    A mixed number includes a whole number and a fraction, while an improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator.

  • 2

    To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator to get the new numerator, keeping the same denominator.

  • 3

    To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator; the quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part.
