Question

Convert 3 1/2 into a improper fraction and show me the steps to get to the answer

Answer 1

7/2

or

`(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

To get an improper fraction is very simple.

You multiply the whole number by the denominator

And then you add the product to the numerator

3 x 2 = 6 + 1 = 7

You always keep the denominator

so you get 7/2

These are the steps you will ALWAYS use when you have a fraction with a whole and you are turning it into an improper fraction.
