To convert \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) to an improper fraction, follow these steps:
- Multiply the whole number (which is 1) by the denominator (which is 4).
- Add the numerator (which is 3) to the product.
- Place the total over the original denominator (which is 4).
So the filled-in blanks would look like this:
- Multiply the whole number (which is 1) by the denominator (which is 4).
- Add the numerator (which is 3) to the product.
- Place the total over the original denominator (which is 4).
The calculation works out as follows:
- \( 1 \times 4 = 4 \)
- \( 4 + 3 = 7 \)
- So, the improper fraction is \( \frac{7}{4} \).
