One whole number is three thirds, so two whole numbers would be six thirds. Therefore two whole numbers plus a third would be seven thirds in total. #7/3#

To change a mixed number to an improper fraction:

Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This answer goes as the numerator above the original denominator.

#2 xx 3 = 6#

#6 + 1=7#

#7/3#
