How do I convert a whole number and a fraction to a fraction

How do I convert a whole number and a fraction to a fraction notation?

5 5/6 x 1 3/4

Solution

I believe what you are asking is how do I convert a mixed number to an improper fraction. Here your mixed number is 5 5/6. To convert, you take the denominator 6, multiply by your whole number 5, and add that to your existing numerator 5 to equal your new numerator. Put that new numerator over the old denominator. So for 5 5/6, the improper fraction would be 35/6.
