                    SUB TOPIC-3: Conversion of improper to mixed fraction and vice- versa



               Introduction: we can convert improper fractions to mixed fractions and mixed
               fractions to improper fractions.


               To convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction


               Let us convert     into mixed fraction:

               Steps to be followed:

               step 1 : divide 9 by 4. We get quotient as 2, remainder as 1

               Step 2: the quotient will become the whole number.


               Step 3: the remainder will become the numerator.

               Step 4: the denominator will remain the same.


               So, the answer is   2   .

               To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction


               Lets us convert  2   into an improper fraction.

               Steps to be followed:


               Step 1: multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fractional part.

               Step 2: add the product to the numerator of the fractional part.

               Step 3: the denominator will remain the same.



               2    =  (     )     =

               **Note:  we can see that both improper fraction and mixed fraction share a relation.
