Whats the improper fraction equivalent to 5 5/9

The answer is 50/9.

Explanation:

To convert mixed numbers to improper fractions, I remember MAD (multiply, add, denominator).

Step 1 (M):  Multiply the denominator (9) by the whole number (5).  You should get 45.

Step 2 (A):  Add the numerator (5) to the number you just got (45).  45 + 5 = 50.

Step 3 (D):  Take the number you have (50) and put it over the denominator (9).  Your final answer is 50/9.

Firstly before I go over the necessary steps, you do know what an improper fraction is correct? Improper fractions are when the top number (numerator)  is greater than the denominator.

Examples: 7/5 3/2 100/45 

A mixed fraction is when a fraction obtains a whole number and a fraction. An example of this is presented in this very question, 5 5/9. Notice how '5' is by the fraction 5/9. This signals 5 is a whole number.

To change mixed to improper:

1: You must * or x (multiply) the whole number, in this case 5, to the denominator. Which is nine. That would give us the number 45. 

2: After that, we simply add the numerator's value to the value we just gotten. I.e 45. That would be what? 50!

3: Then you just switch that answer with 9, and kick the 5 away. (Simpler bland terms: Put the new answer, which is 50, on top of the denominator.)

50/9

Iam not sure , but probably 750 or 7.5
