Learn on PengiEureka Math, Grade 4Chapter 25: Extending Fraction Equivalence to Fractions Greater Than 1

Lesson 4: Decompose and compose fractions greater than 1 to express them in various forms.

Property.

Section 1

Decomposing Mixed Numbers into Wholes and a Fraction Part

Property

A mixed number AbcA \frac{b}{c} is visually represented by AA wholes, where each whole is equivalent to cc\frac{c}{c}, plus the fractional part bc\frac{b}{c}.

Examples

Section 2

Convert a Mixed Number to a Fraction Greater Than 1 (Algorithm)

Property

To convert a mixed number, represented as AbcA\frac{b}{c}, into a fraction greater than 1 (an improper fraction), use the following formula:

Abc=(A×c)+bcA\frac{b}{c} = \frac{(A \times c) + b}{c}
