well you multiply the whole number in this case 8 by the denominator of the fraction which is 2 so you get 16, then add it to the numerator, which is 1 now u get 17, write that over 2 and u get your answer 17/2

the way to change it to an improper fraction would be to:
1) first multiply 8 by 2 which would equal 16
2) then you would add the 1 to the 16 which would leave you with 17/2 as your answer.
multiply mixed # by denominator
add product to the numerator to get answer
KEEP THE SAME DENOMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
