Goal: use division to generate mixed numbers and improper fractions
Proper Fraction: the numerator is less than the denominator Improper Fraction: the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator Mixed Number: is the sum of a whole number and proper fraction
Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient will be the whole number The remainder will be the numerator The divisor will be the denominator Simplify (reduce) the fraction if needed

Do the Big C! Multiply the denominator by the whole number Add the product to the numerator to find the new numerator Denominator stays the same Simplify (reduce) the fraction if needed
