how can changing improper fractions to mixed numbers help me determine between which two whole numbers a fraction lies

Sagot :

So for example 4/2 is a improper fraction. First think how many times can two go into 4 and that is 2 so the answer is two. Let's try 7/4. 4 can go into 7 one time but there is some reminders so u take the remainder and use it as the numerator. Then u keep the same denominator and so the answer is 1 3/4

Answer:

By indicating, through the whole number of the mixed fraction,  the lower boundary  in which the fraction lies.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Improper fractions can be expressed as mixed numbers by performing a división of numerator by denominator and expressing the remainder as fraction. Example 6/4  is equal to 1 2/4 or 1.5 that is the number of times 6 can be divided by 4 and the remainder of two expressed as a fraction. The whole number of the mixed number is the lower boundary whole number of 6/4. The upper boundary is this whole number + 1 , in this case 1+1 = 2 . So, by using the mixed fraction we can see that 6/4 is between 1 and 2.
