(WHOLE_3 + (NUM_3_SIMP/DENOM_3_SIMP))

Turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions to make it easier to multiply them.

Let's start with the first mixed number: To find the numerator of the improper fraction, multiply the denominator (DENOM_1) by the whole number (WHOLE_1) and add the numerator (NUM_1). DENOM_1*WHOLE_1+NUM_1 = I_NUM_1.

So the first mixed number can be written as fraction( I_NUM_1, I_DENOM_1, false, true ).

Now let's turn the second mixed number into an improper fraction: To find the numerator, multiply the denominator (DENOM_2) by the whole number (WHOLE_2) and add the numerator (NUM_2). DENOM_2*WHOLE_2+NUM_2 = I_NUM_2.

So the second mixed number can be written as fraction( I_NUM_2, I_DENOM_2, false, true ).

Multiply the two improper fractions: fraction( I_NUM_1, I_DENOM_1, false, true ) * fraction( I_NUM_2, I_DENOM_2, false, true )\displaystyle {} = fraction( I_NUM, I_DENOM )

mixedFractionFromImproper(I_NUM_SIMP, I_DENOM_SIMP)

Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number:

First, divide the numerator by the denominator. I_NUM \div I_DENOM = \color{#28AE7B}{WHOLE_3}\ \text{ R } \color{purple}{NUM_3}

So the improper fraction has WHOLE_3 wholes in it.

This quotient WHOLE_3 is the whole number part of the mixed number.

We also have a remainder of NUM_3, though. That represents the \dfrac{\color{purple}{NUM_3}}{DENOM_3} remaining from the improper fraction; it wasn't enough to be another whole number.

The converted mixed fraction is \color{#28AE7B}{WHOLE_3}\ \color{purple}{fraction( NUM_3, DENOM_3, false, true )}.
