Question

How do you write 2 1/3 as improper fraction?

Answer 1

One whole number is three thirds, so two whole numbers would be six thirds. Therefore two whole numbers plus a third would be seven thirds in total. `7/3`

To change a mixed number to an improper fraction:

Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This answer goes as the numerator above the original denominator.

`2 xx 3 = 6`

`6 + 1=7`

`7/3`
