To convert the mixed number \( 1 \frac{5}{7} \) to an improper fraction, follow these steps: 1. Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (7): \[ 1 \times 7 = 7 \] 2. Add the numerator (5) to this result: \[ 7 + 5 = 12 \] 3. The denominator remains the same (7), so you can express \( 1 \frac{5}{7} \) as: \[ \frac{12}{7} \] Thus, \( 1 \frac{5}{7} = \frac{12}{7} \). So, \( 1 \frac{5}{7} = \frac{12}{7} \).
