📘 How to Convert a Mixed Number to an Improper Fraction
As the turtle explains:
> 1. Multiply the whole number by the fraction’s
denominator (bottom number).
> 2. Add that result to the
numerator (top number).
> 3. Keep the same denominator. Write the new numerator over it.

Let’s apply this to each problem:
---
####
1. $ 5 \frac{1}{2} $
- Whole number: 5, Denominator: 2 → $ 5 \times 2 = 10 $
- Add numerator: $ 10 + 1 = 11 $
- Denominator stays 2 → $ \boxed{\frac{11}{2}} $
---
####
2. $ 8 \frac{2}{5} $
- $ 8 \times 5 = 40 $
- $ 40 + 2 = 42 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{42}{5}} $
---
####
3. $ 7 \frac{4}{5} $
- $ 7 \times 5 = 35 $
- $ 35 + 4 = 39 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{39}{5}} $
---
####
4. $ 8 \frac{7}{8} $
- $ 8 \times 8 = 64 $
- $ 64 + 7 = 71 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{71}{8}} $
---
####
5. $ 3 \frac{1}{4} $
- $ 3 \times 4 = 12 $
- $ 12 + 1 = 13 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{13}{4}} $
---
####
6. $ 4 \frac{1}{5} $
- $ 4 \times 5 = 20 $
- $ 20 + 1 = 21 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{21}{5}} $
---
####
7. $ 6 \frac{1}{3} $
- $ 6 \times 3 = 18 $
- $ 18 + 1 = 19 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{19}{3}} $
---
####
8. $ 4 \frac{1}{4} $
- $ 4 \times 4 = 16 $
- $ 16 + 1 = 17 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{17}{4}} $
---
####
9. $ 3 \frac{2}{3} $
- $ 3 \times 3 = 9 $
- $ 9 + 2 = 11 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{11}{3}} $
---
####
10. $ 9 \frac{2}{3} $
- $ 9 \times 3 = 27 $
- $ 27 + 2 = 29 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{29}{3}} $
---
####
11. $ 6 \frac{5}{6} $
- $ 6 \times 6 = 36 $
- $ 36 + 5 = 41 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{41}{6}} $
---
####
12. $ 9 \frac{2}{3} $ ← Same as #10!
- Already solved → $ \boxed{\frac{29}{3}} $
---
####
13. $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $
- $ 3 \times 2 = 6 $
- $ 6 + 1 = 7 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{7}{2}} $
---
####
14. $ 7 \frac{1}{4} $
- $ 7 \times 4 = 28 $
- $ 28 + 1 = 29 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{29}{4}} $
---
####
15. $ 3 \frac{3}{7} $
- $ 3 \times 7 = 21 $
- $ 21 + 3 = 24 $
- → $ \boxed{\frac{24}{7}} $
