To express \( 12 \frac{2}{3} \) as an improper fraction, you can follow these steps: 1. Multiply the whole number (12) by the denominator (3): \[ 12 \times 3 = 36 \] 2. Add the numerator (2) to that result: \[ 36 + 2 = 38 \] 3. Put that result over the original denominator: \[ 12 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{38}{3} \] So, \( 12 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{38}{3} \).
