    Given:

    2 3/4 cups of tomatoes.

    Number of cups of tomatoes written as a fraction greater than one.

    2 3/4 is a mixed fraction. It is called such because it is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.

    To find the number of cups of tomatoes written as fraction greater than 1, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

    Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator.

    2 3/4 ⇒ ((2*4) + 3) / 4 ⇒ (8+3) / 4 ⇒ 11/4

    11/4 is a fraction greater than one.

    4/4 is a fraction that is equal to one. So, any numerator that is greater than 4 is a fraction that is greater than one. In this case, it is 11/4.
