How tall is tall? Well, here's a word problem that when the solution is found will show how tall, tall is. Two years ago, Brad was five and a half feet tall, which was only 2/3 of how tall he is now. Oh my, he is going to be really tall....

Mixed fractions and algebra just don't get along very well. Learn how to convert mixed fractions to improper fractions. Work with the numerator and leave the denominator alone. Watch this video and it will all become clear.

When the numerator is larger than the denominator in a fraction then it is called an improper fraction. This improper fraction can be changed to a mixed fraction where there is a whole number and a fraction together. Just divide the...
