An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Example 9/4 , 7/2
A mixed number is a number consisting of a whole number and a proper fraction. Example 1 3/8 , 3 1/3
FOR SOLVING THE QUESTION:
Rewriting 18/8 as a mixed number:
8/8=1 whole
So, let's see how many wholes we can get out of 18/8
18/8= (8+8+2)/8
= 8/8 +8/8 + 2/8
=1+ 1+1/4
18/8=2 1/4
Rewriting 1 7/12 as an improper fraction
1 7/12= 1+ 7/12
=12/12 + 7/12
=(12+7)/12
=19/12
Therefore, 1 7/12= 19/12
