Question

Write 5 5/8 as a improper fraction A. 33/8 B. 45/8 C. 40/8 D. 35/8

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe this would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I do improper fractions is called the 'boot'

It is where you take the whole number and the denominator and circle both of them so it kind of looks like a boot and you multiply those together.

So 5 * 8= 40 then you add your numerator to that which gets you 45, and you keep the denominator the same

So you end up with 45/8

Sorry if its a little confusing

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is the whole number, so when turning the 5 into fraction of eighths...8*5=40 --> 40/8

Then, we will add the 5/8 to the 40/8. (40/8)+(5/8) = (45/8)

The answer is B. 45/8
