Conversion a mixed number 8 1/
4
to a improper fraction: 8 1/4 = 8 1/
4
= 8 · 4 + 1/
4
= 32 + 1/
4
= 33/
4
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 8 by the denominator 4. Whole number 8 equally 8 * 4/
4
= 32/
4
b) Add the answer from previous step 32 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 32 + 1 = 33
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 33) over the denominator 4.
Eight and one quarter is thirty-three quarters
Conversion a mixed number 3 2/
5
to a improper fraction: 3 2/5 = 3 2/
5
= 3 · 5 + 2/
5
= 15 + 2/
5
= 17/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(4, 5) = 20. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 5 = 20. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - thirty-three quarters minus seventeen fifths = ninety-seven twentieths.
Conversion a mixed number 2 1/
3
to a improper fraction: 2 1/3 = 2 1/
3
= 2 · 3 + 1/
3
= 6 + 1/

= 7/
3
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 3. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 3/
3
= 6/

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 6 + 1 = 7
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 3.
Two and one third is seven thirds
Subtract: 7/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(3, 4) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 3 × 4 = 12. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - seven thirds minus one quarter = twenty-five twelfths.
Subtract: the result of step No. 3 - the result of step No. 5 = 97/
20
- 25/
12
= 97 · 3/
20 · 3
- 25 · 5/
12 · 5
= 291/

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(20, 12) = 60. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 20 × 12 = 240. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 83/
