Let's solve Question 1 from the image.

### Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

The task is to convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.

1. **\( 2 \frac{7}{9} \)**
   - Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (9): \(2 \times 9 = 18\).
   - Add the numerator (7): \(18 + 7 = 25\).
   - So, \(2 \frac{7}{9} = \frac{25}{9}\).

2. **\( 3 \frac{1}{5} \)**
   - Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (5): \(3 \times 5 = 15\).
   - Add the numerator (1): \(15 + 1 = 16\).
   - So, \(3 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{16}{5}\).

3. **\( 1 \frac{4}{8} \)**
   - Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (8): \(1 \times 8 = 8\).
   - Add the numerator (4): \(8 + 4 = 12\).
   - So, \(1 \frac{4}{8} = \frac{12}{8}\).
   - Simplify \( \frac{12}{8} \) to \( \frac{3}{2}\).

4. **\( 4 \frac{3}{5} \)**
   - Multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator (5): \(4 \times 5 = 20\).
   - Add the numerator (3): \(20 + 3 = 23\).
   - So, \(4 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{23}{5}\).

These are the improper fractions corresponding to the mixed numbers.
