Converting Cut Marks to Mixed Fraction
To convert cut marks into a proper fraction in mixed fraction form, follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand the Cut Marks
- Cut marks are typically given in the format of a whole number followed by a fraction.
- For example, if the cut mark is 4 1/2, it means 4 whole marks and 1/2 of a mark.

Step 2: Convert to Improper Fraction
- To convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator.
- For example, for the cut mark 4 1/2:
- 4 x 2 (denominator) + 1 = 9
- So, 4 1/2 is equivalent to 9/2 as an improper fraction.

Step 3: Convert to Mixed Fraction
- To convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator.
- The quotient becomes the whole number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator.
- For the improper fraction 9/2:
- 9 ÷ 2 = 4 with a remainder of 1
- So, 9/2 is equivalent to 4 1/2 as a mixed fraction.
By following these steps, you can easily convert cut marks from a mixed fraction form to a proper fraction in mixed fraction form.
