Example of Converting a Mixed Fraction to an Improper Fraction

3`7/15`
the required improper fraction = `"Integral part × Denominator + Numerator" / "Denominator"`

                                                  = `"(3 × 15 ) + 7" /15`
                                                  = `"45 + 7" /15`
                                                  = `52/15`
