Let’s solve each part step by step.
---
Section A: Change mixed numbers to improper fractions, and improper fractions to mixed numbers.
We’ll go one by one.
1)
9/5 → This is an improper fraction. Divide 9 by 5:
5 goes into 9 once (5×1=5), remainder 4.
So,
9/5 = 1 4/5
2)
14/3 → Divide 14 by 3:
3×4=12, remainder 2 →
14/3 = 4 2/3
3)
16/5 → 5×3=15, remainder 1 →
16/5 = 3 1/5
4)
27/7 → 7×3=21, remainder 6 →
27/7 = 3 6/7
5)
4 2/9 → Mixed number to improper:
Multiply whole number by denominator: 4×9=36, add numerator: 36+2=38 →
38/9
6)
7 1/8 → 7×8=56 +1 =57 →
57/8
7)
3 2/11 → 3×11=33 +2=35 →
35/11
8)
2 3/20 → 2×20=40 +3=43 →
43/20
9)
8 7/12 → 8×12=96 +7=103 →
103/12

Section B: Simplify your answers where possible.
This means convert between mixed/improper AND simplify the fraction part if needed.
1)
1 3/9 → First, simplify 3/9 = 1/3 → So answer is
1 1/3
2)
6 2/12 → Simplify 2/12 = 1/6 →
6 1/6
3)
8 3/15 → Simplify 3/15 = 1/5 →
8 1/5
4)
10 12/26 → Simplify 12/26: divide top and bottom by 2 → 6/13 →
10 6/13
5)
14/4 → Improper fraction. 14÷4 = 3 with remainder 2 → 3 2/4 → simplify 2/4 = 1/2 →
3 1/2
6)
24/15 → 24÷15 = 1 with remainder 9 → 1 9/15 → simplify 9/15 = 3/5 →
1 3/5
7)
32/12 → 32÷12 = 2 with remainder 8 → 2 8/12 → simplify 8/12 = 2/3 →
2 2/3
8)
81/18 → 81÷18 = 4 with remainder 9 → 4 9/18 → simplify 9/18 = 1/2 →
4 1/2
9)
112/35 → 112÷35 = 3 with remainder 7 → 3 7/35 → simplify 7/35 = 1/5 →
3 1/5
---
Extension: Write decimals and percentages as mixed numbers and improper fractions. Simplify.
Remember:
- Decimal → write as fraction over 10, 100, etc., then simplify.
- Percent → write over 100, then simplify.
1)
2.08
→ As fraction: 208/100
→ Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 4 → 52/25
→ Improper fraction:
52/25
→ Mixed number: 52 ÷ 25 = 2 with remainder 2 →
2 2/25
2)
160%
→ 160/100 = 16/10 = 8/5 (simplified)
→ Improper fraction:
8/5
→ Mixed number: 8÷5 = 1 rem 3 →
1 3/5
3)
112.5%
→ 112.5 / 100 = 1125 / 1000 (multiply top and bottom by 10 to remove decimal)
→ Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 125 → 9/8
→ Improper fraction:
9/8
→ Mixed number: 9÷8 = 1 rem 1 →
1 1/8
Wait — let me double-check 112.5%:
112.5% = 112.5 / 100 = 1.125
As fraction: 1125/1000
Divide numerator and denominator by 125:
1125 ÷ 125 = 9
1000 ÷ 125 = 8
So yes,
9/8 or
1 1/8
But wait — 112.5% is more than 100%, so it should be greater than 1. Correct.
Actually, let me check again:
112.5% = 112.5 / 100 = 1.125
1.125 = 1 + 0.125 = 1 + 1/8 =
1 1/8 → correct.
Improper fraction: 9/8 → correct.
