2. Add that to the numerator.  

3. Then write result on top of the denominator.

Explanation

For example:

Convert

3 2/5 to an improper fraction

3 x 5 = 15

15 + 2 = 17

17/5

Steps to convert improper fraction into mixed fraction:

Convert

Find cost of one meter of cloth

Cost of one meter of cloth = Cost of 3 1/2 m of cloth ÷ 3 1/2

Put the values of cost of 3 1/2 m of cloth from equation (1) in above equation

We get,

Cost of one meter of cloth = 166 1/4  ÷ 3 1/2

 

Convert mixed fraction of equation (2) into improper fraction

Cost of one meter of cloth = 166 x 4 + 1 / 4 ÷ 3 x 2 + 1 / 4

Cost of one meter of cloth = 664 + 1 / 4  ÷ 6 + 1 /4

Cost of one meter of cloth = 665 / 4  ÷ 7 / 2

Cost of one meter of cloth =  665 / 4 x 2 / 7

Cost of one meter of cloth = 95 / 2

Convert improper fraction of equation (3) into mixed fraction

Cost of one meter of cloth =  47 1/2

Therefore, cost of one meter of cloth = Rs 47 1/2

Final Answer

Cost of one meter of cloth = Rs 47 1/2
