How do I convert a mixed number to a decimal?
Keep the whole number as the integer part of the decimal. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the fractional part. For example, 2 1/4 = 2 + (1 ÷ 4) = 2.25.
How do I convert a mixed number to a percent?
First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction or a decimal. Then multiply by 100. For example, 1 1/2 = 1.5. 1.5 × 100 = 150%.
What is an improper fraction?
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator (e.g., 7/4). Mixed numbers are often converted to improper fractions for easier mathematical calculations.
How do I convert a mixed number back to a fraction?
Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. Put that total over the original denominator. Example: 3 2/5 = (3 × 5 + 2) / 5 = 17/5.
