The easiest way to do this is to multiply the denominator of the fraction by the integer and add the numerator. Then you put that result over the existing denominator.
I.E
2 ½
2*2=4,
4+1=5, then put it over the denominator which is 2
therefore 5/2 = 2½....

Take the denominator times the whole number and add it to the numerator. The denominator always remains the same.
EG:
3 1/2= (2x3)+1= 7/2

Without seeing the questions you're working on, the best I can advise you is to convert all the fractions to the lowest common denominator.

Top heavy fractions? You mean like the fractions have big titties?
Woohoo!
