    a fraction is just another way of writing a division problem. so when you see a fraction that looks like this 24/5 (which is improper)  we can rewrite it as 24 divided by five.  five goes into 24 four times with a remainder of 4.  we are still dividing 4 by 5 so our mixed number then becomes             4  4/5   which is said four and four fifths   because we are adding 4 with 4/5 and when we add fractions with whole numbers we need a common denominator.  4/1 = 20/5  and when we add 20/5+4/5 we get 24/5 which is what we started with

    We don t want anything improper on this froum thank you ,
