Example Question #1 : How To Find Out An Improper Fraction From A Mixed Fraction

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?

Possible Answers:

$30 < N \le 35$

$20 < N \le 25$

$15 < N \le 20$

$25 < N \le 30$

$10 < N \le 15$

Correct answer:

$25 < N \le 30$

Explanation:

$\frac{9}{12}$ , 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: 23+4 = 27 .

The correct response is $25 < N \le 30$ .

Example Question #2 : Mixed / Improper Fractions

Rewrite $8\frac{16}{20}$ as an improper fraction in lowest terms. If we assign to the numerator of this fraction, which of the following will be a true statement?

Possible Answers:

$70 < N \le 80$

$50 < N \le 60$

$30 < N \le 40$

$60 < N \le 70$

$40 < N \le 50$

Correct answer:

$40 < N \le 50$

Explanation:

$\frac{16}{20}$ in lowest terms is $\frac{16 \div 4}{20 \div 4} = \frac{4}{5}$ , so first, rewrite $8\frac{16}{20}$ as $8\frac{4}{5}$ .

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:

$8 \times 5 + 4 = 40 + 4 = 44$

The correct response is $40 < N \le 50$ .
