How to make a mixed number a improper fraction ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
6 0

A mixed number of the form a\frac{b}{c} can be turned into an improper fraction by using the fact that a mixed number is really het whole number plus its fraction part, so

  a\frac{b}{c} = {\displaystyle a + \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a}{1}+\frac{b}{c}}

Then do the usual procedure for adding fractions via common denominator.

For example, to convert the mixed number 5 \frac{1}{4} into an improper fraction, we have

  5\frac{1}{4}={\displaystyle 5 +\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{1}+\frac{1}{4}}

To add \frac{5}{1}+\frac{1}{4}, we need \frac{5}{1} to have a denominator of 4, so we multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get

   =\frac{5\cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{20}{4}+\frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}

Therefore,

  5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}

A certain shop repairs both audio and video components. Let A denote the event that the next
alexdok [17]

Answer:

0.12 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A: next  component brought in for repair is an audio component

B: event that the next component  is a compact disc player

B \in A

P(A)= 0.6\\P(B) =0.05

We have to evaluate:

P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\\P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B)}{P(A)}\\\\P(B|A) = \dfrac{0.05}{0.6} = 0.12

0.12 is the required probability.
