MIXED NUMBERS TO IMPROPER FRACTION

Multiply the denominator by the whole number.
Add the numerator to the product of the denominator and whole number
The sum will be the numerator then copy the denominator.

IMPROPER FRACTION TO MIXED NUMBERS

Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the quotient as whole number and the remainder will serve as the new numerator. Copy the denominator.
