[4] 4
Answer:
REMINDER:
• Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 34/4, the numerator is 34.
• Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 34/4, the denominator is
4.
• Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the
denominator.
• Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to
whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper
fraction.
There are 4 quarters in each whole number and there are 4 whole numbers here. You need
to multiply the denominator by the amount of whole numbers and then add the numerator
to get your answer, which is 19 quarters.
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, we need to multiply the whole number
part to the denominator (4) and add the result to the numerator (3) and retain the same
denominator.
, 3
The given mixed number is 4 4, 4 is the whole number part and 4 is the numerator and 3 is
the denominator.
Thus, the numerator of the improper fraction would be (4 × 4) + 3 = 19.
The denominator of the improper fraction is 4.
