Converting improper fractions into mixed numbers is pretty easy once you get the hang of it! Here’s a simple guide that can help you.

1. Find the Fraction: An improper fraction is when the top number (called the numerator) is bigger than or equal to the bottom number (called the denominator). For example, $\frac{9}{4}$ is an improper fraction because $9$ is greater than $4$.

2. Divide: Take the top number and divide it by the bottom number. In this case, $9 \div 4 = 2$ with a leftover of $1$.

3. Write it as a Mixed Number: The whole number from your division (which is $2$) becomes the whole number in your mixed number. The leftover ($1$) is the new top number, and you keep the same bottom number ($4$).

So, $\frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4}$.

4. Practice: The more you practice, the easier it will be! Try some more examples, and soon you'll be changing them without even thinking about it. Happy fractioning!
