9/4
How to change a mixed number
to an improper fraction.
4¼
First, multiply the denominator by the whole
number 4 X 4 = 16
Then, add the numerator 16 + 1 = 17
Lastly, use the “17” as the numerator and keep
the “4” as the denominator.
17 / 4
How to change an improper
fraction to a mixed number.
9/4
Take the denominator and divide it into the
numerator.
9 divided by 4 = 2 but you have 1 left over.
2 becomes the whole number, 1 will be the
numerator, and keep 4 as the denominator.
2¼
Do Now
On your white boards, write down 2 proper fractions,
write 2 fractions you must simplify, 2 mixed
numbers you must change to improper fractions,
and 2 improper fractions you must change to
mixed numbers.
2/3 and 5/7
2/4 = ½ and 6/10 = 3/5
3 4/5 = 19/5 and 2 2/3 = 8/3
20/7 = 2 6/7 and 13/4 = 3 1/4

decimals (the long version and the short
version).
Percents
A percent is the ratio of a number to 100.
A ratio is a comparison of two numbers using
