Answer
Dividing the numerator with the denominator (with remainders), we obtain
$\text{(number of units)}$+$\displaystyle \frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{denominator}},$
which we write as a mixed number.
Work Step by Step
An improper fraction has the numerator greater than the denominator.
Dividing the numerator with the denominator (with remainders), we obtain
$\text{(number of units)}$+$\displaystyle \frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{denominator}},$
which we write as a mixed number.
Examples:
For $\displaystyle \frac{25}{2},$ we divide 25$\div$2 to obtain quotient 12, remainder 1, and we write
$\displaystyle \frac{25}{2}=12\frac{1}{2}$
For $\displaystyle \frac{37}{5},$ we divide $37\div 5$ to obtain quotient $7$, remainder $2$, and we write
$\displaystyle \frac{37}{5}=7\frac{2}{5}$
