The numerator of the improper form of a mixed fraction is the original numerator added to the product of the integer and the original denominator:

$5 \times 7 + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39$

Rewrite $5$\frac{9}{12}$$ as an improper fraction in lowest terms, and call the sum of its numerator and its denominator. Which of the following is a true statement?

Tap to see back →

$\frac{9}{12}$ , in lowest terms, is $\frac{9}{12}$ = $\frac{9 \div 3}{12\div 3}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , so $5$\frac{9}{12}$$ is rewritten as $5$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

The numerator of the improper form of a mixed fraction is the original numerator added to the product of the integer and the original denominator. The new denominator is the same as the old one. Therefore,

$5$\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{5 \times 4+ 3}{4}$ = $\frac{23}{4}$$ ,

Add the numerator and the denominator: .
