Improper fractions are when the numerator is greater than the numerator
the given fraction is a mixed fraction where it has both a whole number and a fraction
[tex]5 \frac{7}{8} [/tex]
whole number is 5
fraction is 7/8
when bringing it to an improper fraction we need to convert the whole numbers to fractions as well
denominator is 8. then 5 whole numbers means 5*8 = 40
then the 5 whole numbers as a fraction = [tex]\frac{40}{8} [/tex]
then when we add the 2 fractions
[tex] \frac{40}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{47}{8} [/tex]
therefore improper fraction is
[tex]\frac{47}{8}[/tex]
