$2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$ $2 1/4 = 9/4$

Explanation:

From mixed fraction to an improper fraction:

$the numerator of the improper fraction$ $"the numerator of the improper fraction"$

$=denominator×the whole number+the numerator of the mixed fraction$ $= "denominator" xx "the whole number" + "the numerator of the mixed fraction"$

The denominator remains as it is.

So

$2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 2 + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$ $2 1/4 = (4 xx 2 + 1)/4 = 9/4$
