This is how to convert an Improper fraction into a mixed number
So first you have to divide the numerator by the denominator Eg. (if the numerator is 8 and the denominator is 5 you divide 8 by 5 which is 1 and 3 extra)
If dividing confuses you you can subtract. To get the mixed number by subtracting you have to subtract the numerator by the denominator until the numerator is smaller then the denominator for if the numerator is 28 and the denominator is 5 you subtract the 28 by 5 until it cannot be subtracted. So 28 subtracted by five is 23 then 18 then 13 then 8 then 3. 3 cannot be subtracted by 5 so 3 is the fraction. You still need the whole numbers so count how many times you subtracted. 5 28 was subtracted by 5, 5 times so the whole number is 5 and the fraction is 3/5 the mixed number is 5 and 3/5.
So here are so more examples:
