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 \( \frac{7}{4} \).
