Answer – as an improper fraction is .
Explanation:
An improper fraction is a fraction having a numerator greater than the denominator. A mixed fraction, on the other hand, is another way of expressing an improper fraction as the sum of a whole number and a proper fraction.
Converting any mixed fraction into an improper fraction is easy.
All we need to do is multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and then add the numerator to this product. This will be the numerator of the equivalent improper fraction. The denominator, however, will remain the same as in the mixed fraction.
So, for the given mixed fraction , we first multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 2. We then add the product obtained to the numerator 1 to get the numerator of the improper fraction, while keeping the denominator constant.
Thus, the mixed fraction as an improper fraction is .
