    To convert mixed numbers to improper fractions - Answers

    Question Question Answer


    No.
    1 a. Jayden uses bar models to a. Bars should be shaded such that the top two
    convert a mixed number into bars are completely shaded and on the third
    an improper fraction. bar, 5 of the six squares are shaded.
    Complete Jayden’s bar 2 5/6 = 2 wholes + 5 sixths
    models and find the answer. 2 wholes = 12 sixths
    b. 4 ¼ 12 sixths + 5 sixths = 17 sixths
    c. 5 ¼ b. 4 ¼ = 17/4
    d. 4 ¾ c. 5 ¼ = 21/4
    e. 6 ⅛ d. 4 ¾ = 19/4
    f. 3 ⅛ e. 6 ⅛ = 49/8
    g. Explain how you can use the f. 3 ⅛ = 25/8
    bar model for question e. to g. You can just cross out three filled bars because
    solve question f. 3 ⅛ is 3 wholes less than 6 ⅛.

    2 a. Complete this bar model a. Bar model should be shaded to show two full
    and use multiplication to bars and one bar with 7 squares shaded.
    convert a mixed number to b. 2 7/10 = 20 tenths + 7 tenths
    an improper fraction. c. 2 7/10 = 27/10
    b. 7 ½ d. 7 ½ = 15/2
    c. 3 ⅘ e. 3 ⅘ = 19/5
    d. 4 2/7 f. 4 2/7 = 30/7
    e. 5 ⅜ g. 5 ⅜ = 43/8
    f. Tilly has been using h. Tilly is incorrect. She should have calculated.
    multiplication to convert 6 wholes = 6 x 9 ninths = 54 ninths
    a mixed number to an 6 2/9 = 54 ninths + 2 ninths
    improper fraction. 6 2/9 = 56/9
    g. Tilly says, 6 2/9 = 54/9 Tilly has forgotten to add on the extra 2/9.
    h. Do you agree with Tilly?
    Explain your answer.

    3 Use the digit cards to complete There are eight possible solutions:
    this equation. 1 1/12 = 13/12, 2 2/12 = 25/12, 3 1/12 = 37/12, 4 1/12 = 49/12, 5 1/12
    You can use each digit card more = 61/12, 6 1/12 = 73/12, 7 1/12 = 85/12, 8 1/12 = 97/12
    than once. Pupils may describe a number of different
    How many different possibilities patterns in their answers, for example:
    can you find? The wholes increase by 1 each time. The
    What do you notice about your numerator of the improper fraction increases by
    answers? 12 each time.
