An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, e.g. 5⁄3 and 9⁄9. A mixed fraction (also called a mixed number) is a number that has a whole number part and a fractional part, which is not written as a decimal, e.g. 23⁄5. Tips: 1: The numerator is the number at the top and the denominator is the number at the bottom of a fraction. 2: To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps: Multiply the whole number part by the denominator.
