What are proper and improper fractions and how do convert mixed fractions to simple fractions?

A fraction contains a numerator(upper value) and denominator(lower value).

When the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is called a proper fraction, otherwise, it is called an improper fraction.

  • A proper fraction is also called a fraction which is less than 1.
  • And an improper fraction is ≥ 1
  • A mixed fraction contains a sum of a whole number and a proper fraction.

A mixed fraction can be converted as,

2 1/2

= (2×2 + 1)/2

= 5/2

= 2.5

Given that Beatrice made lemonade twice, first, she made 7 2/3 cups of lemonade and in the second turn, she made 10 3/5 more cups of lemonade. Therefore, the total cups of lemonade that Beatrice made is,

Total cups of lemonade = 7 2/3 + 10 3/5

= 23/3 + 53/5

= (23×5 + 53×3)/(3×5)

= (115 + 265)/15

= 380/15

= 25 5/15

= 25 1/3

Hence, the total cup of lemonade that Beatrice made is 25 1/3.
