Answer :
1 1/3 is the answer
you have to subtract the numerator of the improper fraction from the denominator and the number you have left is the fraction like for 4/3 4-3=1 so the fraction is 1/3 the amount that is NOT a fraction counts as the whole depending on how many times it can go into the denominator.

All you have to do is divide the numerator ( 4 ) by the denominator ( 3 )
The answer to ...
4 ÷ 3
Would turn into your mixed number :)
Or a better way to look at it is how many times can 3 go into 4 ?
1 time
and how much was left over that the 3 couldn't fill ?
1
Now what you do with is put it over 3 ( the original denominator )
And you get ...
1 1/3
One and one third
