Question

(Pre-Algebra) Improper Fractions, Mixed Fractions, and finding Equivalent Expressions

Answer 1

So here we have the equation 16/5 and have to turn it into a Mixed Fraction.

The First Step to putting it into a Mixed Fraction is...

You see how many 5's can go into 16, which can be put into 16, 3 times.

So In that case the whole number would be 3, then you place the remaining fraction on the right of the whole number

So, In that case your Final answer should be 3 1/5

Answer 2

Now, How do you turn a mixed fraction into an improper fraction?

Well, you have an equation like 5 2/4, So In that case...

You would multiply 5*4 which would then be 20.

You then add your 2+20 which would equal 22,

Your final answer should look like 22/4

Answer 3

And one more thing, How do you look for equivalent expressions?

So you look at a fraction like 2/4...

which comparatively is 50%...

So, Whenever you look at a fraction that is 5/10, 6/12, 50/100 You can find either the probability of the answer and find equivalent expressions to do so, Or better yet If you find an equation like 4/8...

You can equivalent expressions by using the same method above, finding the probability of the fraction.
