Fractions Greater Than One

• Fractions greater than one are also called “Improper Fractions”

• Improper Fractions are described has a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

• Example: 15/7

• These fractions can be converted into a whole number or a mixed number

• 15/7 = 2 1/7

• Example:  24/12 = 2 because 24 divided by 12 = 2

• Example: 21/6 = 3 3/6 because 21 divided by 6 equals 3 with a remainder of 3 so that would mean it equals 3 3/6. Then we must put our fraction into simplest form; simplest form is 3 1/2; so 21/6 = 3 1/2

• Remember I told you all answers have to be put in simplest form.
