      An improper fraction is reduce to a mixed fraction.


      9/6


      6 is divided into 9 one (1) time with 3 left over, then bring down the denominator > 6


      9/6 = 1 3/6 > reduce 3/6 to 1/3


      Answer:  1 1/3 


      9/6  >  You can reduce 9/6 to 3/2.


      2 is divided into 3 one (1) time with 1 left over, then bring down the denominator > 2  


      Answer:  3/2 = 1 1/2


      Check answer:


      Multiply the whole number and the denominator and add the numerator. Then put back the denominator.


      1 3/6 = 1 x 6 + 3 = 9/6


      1 1/2 = 1 x 2 + 1 = 3/2
