Add this result to the number in the numerator. So, 54+3 = 57.3. Write the result of the addition as the the numerator and keep the original denominator. For example, 57/94. Check to see if the fraction can be simplified. Here, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get 19/3Hence, 6 3/9 as an improper fraction is 19/3
