To convert the mixed number \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) to an improper fraction, follow these steps in the correct order:

  1. 1*4 (Multiply the whole number by the denominator)
  2. 4+3 (Add that result to the numerator)
  3. =7 (This gives you the new numerator)
  4. =7/4 (Place this over the denominator)

So, the correct order is:

  1. 1 * 4
  2. 4 + 3
  3. = 7
  4. = 7/4
what about =4

The step =4 is not necessary in the conversion process of a mixed number to an improper fraction. It may have been included to indicate the denominator of the original fraction, which is \( 4 \) in this case, but it is not explicitly needed in the conversion steps.

Here’s the correct order of steps again for clarity:

  1. 1 * 4 (Multiply the whole number by the denominator)
  2. 4 + 3 (Add that result to the numerator)
  3. = 7 (This gives you the new numerator)
  4. = 7/4 (Place this over the denominator)

The output is \( 7/4 \), which represents the improper fraction equivalent of \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \). The =4 step is not necessary for completing the conversion.
