Write as an improper fraction.

Question

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: \[ \frac{15}{8} \]
