Answer 1

To convert \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the whole number (which is **1**) by the **denominator** (which is **4**).
2. Add the **numerator** (which is **3**) to the product.
3. Place the total over the original **denominator** (which is **4**).

So the filled-in blanks would look like this:

1. Multiply the whole number (which is **1**) by the **denominator** (which is **4**).
2. Add the **numerator** (which is **3**) to the product.
3. Place the total over the original **denominator** (which is **4**).

The calculation works out as follows:

1. \( 1 \times 4 = 4 \)
2. \( 4 + 3 = 7 \)
3. So, the improper fraction is \( \frac{7}{4} \).
