How to Write Each Mixed Number as a Fraction?

To convert a mixed number into a fraction, you need to follow a simple process. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. Here’s how to do it:

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fractional part.
2. Add that result to the numerator of the fractional part.
3. Place the sum over the original denominator.

For example, let’s convert the mixed number 2 3/4 into a fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (4): 2 × 4 = 8.
2. Add the result (8) to the numerator (3): 8 + 3 = 11.
3. Write the result over the original denominator: 11/4.

Thus, 2 3/4 as a fraction is 11/4.

Remember that the process is the same for any mixed number. Just follow these steps, and you will have the correct fractional representation!
