Question

Steve made 9 3/6 cups of pancake batter on a weekend camping trip. He used 3 4/6 cios of batter for breakfast on Saturday. Write each mixed number as a fraction greater than one.

Answer 1

Answer:

9 3/6 ⇒ 19/2

3 4/6 ⇒ 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction greater than one is an improper fraction.

$9\frac{3}{6}$ when converted into an improper fraction is

$9\frac{3}{6} =9+\frac{3}{6} \\\\=\frac{9*6}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}\\\\ =\frac{54}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}=\frac{57}{6}\\\\ =\boxed{\frac{19}{2}. }$

$3\frac{4}{6}$ when converted to a fraction is

$3\frac{4}{6}=3+\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{3*6}{6}+ \frac{4}{\\\\6}\\\\=\frac{18}{6}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{22}{6}\\\\=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}. }$

Thus fractions $9\frac{3}{6}$ and $3\frac{4}{6}$ when converted to fractions greater than one are $\frac{19}{2}$ and $\frac{11}{3}$ respectively.
