Sure, let's convert each of the given improper fractions to mixed numbers step by step.

### a) [tex]\(\frac{3}{2}\)[/tex]

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[ 3 \div 2 = 1 \quad \text{(quotient)} \][/tex]
2. Find the remainder:
[tex]\[ 3 \mod 2 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]
3. Construct the mixed number:
[tex]\[ 1 \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].

### b) [tex]\(\frac{5}{2}\)[/tex]

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[ 5 \div 2 = 2 \quad \text{(quotient)} \][/tex]
2. Find the remainder:
[tex]\[ 5 \mod 2 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]
3. Construct the mixed number:
[tex]\[ 2 \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].

### c) [tex]\(\frac{7}{2}\)[/tex]

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[ 7 \div 2 = 3 \quad \text{(quotient)} \][/tex]
2. Find the remainder:
[tex]\[ 7 \mod 2 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]
3. Construct the mixed number:
[tex]\[ 3 \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\frac{7}{2} = 3 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].

### d) [tex]\(\frac{9}{2}\)[/tex]

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[ 9 \div 2 = 4 \quad \text{(quotient)} \][/tex]
2. Find the remainder:
[tex]\[ 9 \mod 2 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]
3. Construct the mixed number:
[tex]\[ 4 \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\frac{9}{2} = 4 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].

### e) [tex]\(\frac{4}{3}\)[/tex]

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator:
[tex]\[ 4 \div 3 = 1 \quad \text{(quotient)} \][/tex]
2. Find the remainder:
[tex]\[ 4 \mod 3 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder)} \][/tex]
3. Construct the mixed number:
[tex]\[ 1 \frac{1}{3} \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(\frac{4}{3} = 1 \frac{1}{3}\)[/tex].

### Summary

- [tex]\(\frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{7}{2} = 3 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{9}{2} = 4 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{4}{3} = 1 \frac{1}{3}\)[/tex]
