To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add it to the numerator. This becomes the numerator of the improper fraction, so 3 x 2 = 6 + 5 = 11 so, your answer should be 11/2
To put this another way: to turn a mixed number into a fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator (the bottom part), and add the result to the numerator (the top part). Add the result to the numerator: The numerator is 1. The numerator is 5.
