Recognize a mixed number as a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as \( 1\frac{3}{4} \)
Convert an improper fraction to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number and remainder
Convert a mixed number to an improper fraction using \( a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \times c + b}{c} \)
