That's Not Proper

Label equal sections of one spinner "13," "17," "23," "29," "37," "41," "57." The numbers on this spinner stand for the numerators of improper fractions. Label equal sections of a second spinner "3," "4," "5," "6," "7," "8," "9," "11." These numbers stand for the denominators of improper fractions.

One group member spins both spinners. The first of the other two group members to express the resulting improper fraction as a mixed number wins the round. Play several rounds, trading roles each time.
