Convert each improper mixed number to a whole number or a mixed number:
(A) 24 2/2 (b) 7 4/2 (c) 2 5/3 (d) 9 5/4
(E) 36 3/2 (f) 32 4/3 (g) 3 3/3 (h) 10 8/8
(A) 2/2 = 1 + 24 = ?
(B) 4/2 = 2 + 7 = ?
C) 5/3 = 1 2/3 + 2 = ?
Add them together.
Use the same process with the remaining problems.

To convert an improper mixed number to a whole number or a mixed number, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the whole number and the denominator of the fraction.
Step 2: Add the product obtained in step 1 to the numerator of the fraction.
Step 3: Keep the denominator the same.
Let's apply these steps to each of the given improper mixed numbers:
(A) 24 2/2:
Step 1: 24 x 2 = 48
Step 2: 48 + 2 = 50
Step 3: The denominator remains 2.
So, the converted value is 50 2/2 which can be simplified to 50.
(B) 7 4/2:
Step 1: 7 x 2 = 14
Step 2: 14 + 4 = 18
Step 3: The denominator remains 2.
So, the converted value is 18 4/2 which can be simplified to 18 2/1 or 18 2.
(C) 2 5/3:
Step 1: 2 x 3 = 6
Step 2: 6 + 5 = 11
Step 3: The denominator remains 3.
So, the converted value is 11 5/3.
(D) 9 5/4:
Step 1: 9 x 4 = 36
Step 2: 36 + 5 = 41
Step 3: The denominator remains 4.
So, the converted value is 41 5/4.
(E) 36 3/2:
Step 1: 36 x 2 = 72
Step 2: 72 + 3 = 75
Step 3: The denominator remains 2.
So, the converted value is 75 3/2.
(F) 32 4/3:
Step 1: 32 x 3 = 96
Step 2: 96 + 4 = 100
Step 3: The denominator remains 3.
So, the converted value is 100 4/3.
(G) 3 3/3:
Step 1: 3 x 3 = 9
Step 2: 9 + 3 = 12
Step 3: The denominator remains 3.
So, the converted value is 12 3/3 which can be simplified to 12 1.
(H) 10 8/8:
Step 1: 10 x 8 = 80
Step 2: 80 + 8 = 88
Step 3: The denominator remains 8.
So, the converted value is 88 8/8 which can be simplified to 88 1.
Note: In the simplified form, if the numerator is equal to the denominator, you can drop them and just write the whole number.
