$\frac{71}{8}$ $71/8$

Explanation:

We are given the mixed number which is $8$ $8$ $\frac{7}{8}$ $7/8$ .

Now we simply multiply the whole number in front of the fraction, which is $8$ $8$ , with the denominator to get:

$8 \cdot 8 = 64$ $8*8=64$

Now we simply will add $(+)$ $(+)$ $7$ $7$ to $64$ $64$ :

$64 + 7 = 71$ $64+7=71$

We now have the numerator of the improper fraction. Keeping $8$ $8$ the same for the denominator, introduce the $71$ $71$ .

To get the improper fraction in this case: Simply multiply the $8$ $8$ by the denominator (which happens to be $8$ $8$ as well) and then add the amount the numerator has to it.

Answer: $\frac{71}{8}$ $71/8$
