Mixed numbers, such as 3 1/2, can be turned into improper fractions for simpler computation. The formula is (Whole × Denominator + Numerator) / Denominator. For 3 1/2, multiply 3 × 2 = 6, then add the numerator 1 to get 7, yielding 7/2. This unified fraction form makes it easier to perform multiplication, division, or factoring. Converting back and forth between these formats helps with tasks like recipe adjustments, measuring construction materials, or academic fraction manipulations. Proficiency ensures accuracy and fluency in more complex fraction problems.
