What do I do with the improper fractions?
With the confusing fractions just remember how much of that fraction makes a whole for example with 7/2 I remember that 2/2 makes a whole so I count by 2s 2,4,6,8 remember to never go ahead the numerator so I stop at 6 and count how many times I counted by 2s to get there 3 so we have part of our answer 3 but we still have some work count how much you left behind in this case it is 1/2 so finally, the answer is put both the numbers together and get.............. 3 1/2
