Question

What is the mixed number of 23?

Donagan

Top Answerer

A whole number (such as 23) cannot be expressed as a mixed number. (You could say something like, "23 = 22-2/2," but that would be rather pointless.)

Question

How do I change an improper fraction into a normal fraction?

Donagan

Top Answerer

An improper fraction cannot be changed into a proper (or "normal") fraction. It can be changed only into a mixed number (that is, a whole number and a proper fraction).

Question

What is an improper fraction times a whole number?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Multiply the numerator by the whole number, and leave the denominator unchanged. Then, if desired, reduce the fraction and/or convert it to a mixed number.
