1. Name an improper fraction that can be written as a whole number?

2. How are improper fractions and mixed numbers alike? How are the different?

1 would be 4/2 (4 over 2) and the whole number would be 2

2 would be hink of improper fractions as top heavy. If the numerator is lager than the denominator, then you have an improper fraction. Ex: 12/6 = 2 because 6 goes into 12, two times. Mixed numbers can turn into improper fractions. Ex: 7 2/3 = 23/3 which divides back down to 7 2/3. To create improper fractions from mixed number you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to the product of the whole number and denominator. (3*7=21+2=23) and you just keep the same denominator to then divide. 23/3 = 7 2/3
