There's an example below:</p>
<p>$$5 \frac{2}{3}$$</p>
<p>An <strong><span style="color:#27ae60;">Improper Fraction</span></strong> is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator. There's an example below:</p>

<p>To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, follow these steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiply the integer and the denominator together.</li>
<li>Add the numerator to that product from step 1. This result is the new numerator.</li>
<li>Put the new numerator over the old denominator.</li>
</ul>
<p>$$3 \frac{5}{7} = \frac{3 \times 7 + 5}{7} = \frac{26}{7}$$</p>
