 How do we convert improper fractions into mixed fractions?

Answer:

Improper fractions are those fractions where the numerators are greater than the denominators. 

Example: $\frac{6}{5}$   is improper fraction

Mixed fractions are those fractions where there is a whole number part and a proper fraction part.

Example:  1 $\frac{9}{7}$   is mixed fractions

Improper fractions can be converted into Mixed fractions 

By dividing the numerator by denominator and writing the quotient as whole number part of mixed fraction and remainder/denominator as the fraction part of the mixed fraction.

Example: $\frac{9}{4}$    = 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ 

Mixed fractions can be converted into improper fractions

Example: 4 $\frac{1}{3}$  =$\frac{4\times3+1}{3}$  = $\frac{13}{3}$
