Step 1. First, change the mixed fraction to 1 1 1
improper fraction. 1 𝑥 3 =𝑁5
2 2 4
By multiplying the denominator by the
whole number. Then add the product to 1 2 ( 1 )+ 1
1 =
1 2 ( 3 )+ 1
3 =
the numerator to get the new numerator. 2 2 2 2

Copy the denominator of the mixed 1 3 1 7


1 = 3 =
fraction. 2 2 2 2

Step 2. Multiply the numerators. 3 7 3 𝑥7 21


𝑥 ¿ =
Step 3. Multiply the denominators. 2 2 2𝑥 2 4
Step 4. Express your answer to simplest
form or lowest term, if needed.
To simplify the answer, change the
improper fraction to mixed fraction by
dividing the numerator by its denominator.
Step 1. First, change the mixed fraction to 1 2 10 or
improper fraction. 2 𝑥 2 =𝑁 5
3 4 12
By multiplying the denominator by the
whole number. Then add the product to 1 3 ( 2 )+ 1
2 =
2 4 ( 2 ) +2
2 =
the numerator to get the new numerator. 3 3 4 4

Copy the denominator of the mixed 1 7 2 10


2 = 2 =
fraction. 3 3 4 4

Step 2. Multiply the numerators. 7 10 7 𝑥 10 70


𝑥 ¿ =
