A fraction in which the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator, like 5 / 2, 17 / 3, or 6 / 6 is called an improper fraction. (To put it another way, a fraction with a value less than 1 is a proper fraction. A fraction with a value greater than or equal to 1 is an improper fraction.)

Here is the answer:

Multiply 6 by 9 and add it to 2 at the numerator

6 2/9 = 6 * 9 + 2 over 9

= 56/9

56/9 is the improper fraction.
