Answer 1

35/8

Explanation:

A mixed fraction in the form
`a (b)/(c)` can be converted to an improper fraction using the following calculation:

`a (b)/(c) = ((a * b) + b)/(c)`

Here we have the improper fraction
`4 (3)/(8)`

Using the technique described

`4 (3)/(8) = (4 * 8 + 3)/(8) = (32+ 3)/(8) = (35)/(8)`

Ans: 35/8
