Question

Write as an improper fraction.
1 7/8 = [?]/[?]

Answer 1

To convert the mixed number \( 1 \frac{7}{8} \) to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fractional part:
\[
1 \times 8 = 8
\]

2. Add the result to the numerator of the fractional part:
\[
8 + 7 = 15
\]

3. Place that sum over the original denominator:
\[
\frac{15}{8}
\]

Thus, \( 1 \frac{7}{8} \) as an improper fraction is \( \frac{15}{8} \).

So, the answer is:
\[
\frac{15}{8}
\]
