Question from Jennifer:

I would like to know how you convert whole numbers into improper fractions

Hey Jennifer, Any whole number can be expressed as an improper fraction by simply using 1 in the denominator. For example, 15 is written as 15/1 (or 15/1 is an improper fraction!) We can also think of it as 15 divided by 1 equals 15. Melanie
