Question

Ms. Fuller has 2 2/6 pies left over from her party. Write the number of pies left over as a fraction greater than 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{14}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed fraction of the form $a\frac{b}{c}$ can be converted into an improper fraction by writing it in the form $\frac{(ac)+b}{c}$ . By applying this formula , we can see that $2\frac{2}{6} = \frac{12 +2}{6} =\frac{14}{6}$ . As numerator is greater than the denominator , we can see that the answer is greater than one and thus it is an improper fraction.
