Question

Decompose the fraction 7/9 = show work

Answer 1

Hey You!

7/9 = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9

7/9 = 1/9 + 6/9

7/9 = 4/9 + 3/9

7/9 = 5/9 + 2/9

That's it! =)

Answer 2

A fraction can be expressed as the product of a whole number and a unit fraction....
So...

7 * 1/9
$\frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9}$

Start with a numerator of 1 and go up to 6.

1. $\frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9}$
2. $\frac{2}{9} + \frac{5}{9}$
3. $\frac{3}{9} + \frac{4}{9}$
4. $\frac{4}{9} + \frac{3}{9}$
5. $\frac{5}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$
6. $\frac{6}{9} + \frac{1}{9}$

Hope this helps!
