Improper Fractions and Common Core State Standards

This Improper Fractions to mixed numbers worksheet can be used to help your math class meet the following Common Core State Standards:

Grade 4

  • (4.NF.A.2) Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
  •  (4.NF.B.3.C) Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Grade 5

  • (5.NF.B.3) Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a รท b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.

Changing Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, you must divide the numerator by the denominator. 

This will give you how many whole numbers the improper fraction represents. For instance, 15/5 would convert to a whole number of 3.

If there is a remainder left over, the remainder should be written as a fraction.

For instance, 10/3 converted to a whole number would be 3.33. As a mixed number, this would be written as 3 and 1/3.

How do I convert improper fractions to mixed numbers?

In order to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator. After the division, the mixed number is formed in such a way that the quotient that is obtained becomes the whole number, the remainder becomes the new numerator and the denominator remains the same.

How do you convert mixed numbers to improper fractions worksheet?

Answer: To turn a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number with the denominator of the proper fraction. Add the numerator of the proper fraction to this product to obtain the numerator of the improper fraction.
