How do I convert a mixed number to a fraction?
Say we use 2 and 3/4
Draw some circles to represent cakes.
Now cut them all into quarters.
lightly colour 2 and 3/4 cakes.
How many quarters have you coloured? If you did it correctly the answer is 11. So you have 11 quarters OR 11/4
so 2 and 3/4 = 11/4
Without a picture you would say (2*4 +3)/4 => (8+3)/4 => 11/4
+118654
