Divide the numerator by the denominator.
Write down the whole number answer.
Then write down any remainder above the denominator.

EXAMPLE: Turning 4/3 into an improper fraction
In order to turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, you need to find the closest number to multiply the denominator by to get the numerator (ex: 3 times 1 is the closest number to 4). Then you would subtract that number after it was multiplied (in this case 1x3= 3) from the original numerator (so 4-3 = 1.) The answer for this question is 1 and 1/3.
Another example: 15/4 is 3 and 3/4 as a mixed number because 15 divided by 4 is closest to 3 (3x4 is 12 and 3x5 is 15, which is too large) with a remainder of 3. The closest multiple is the whole number and the remainder is the new numerator.
Hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's confusing-- it's easier to explain with paper and pencil :)

Some liquid will be poured from a 16 ounce container until it is filled to the percent of the the larger container (87.5%).How m

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

16 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are told that a container has a capacity of 16 ounces of liquid and therefore 16 ounces of liquid can fill that one container

The 16 ounces liquid from the 16 ounce container is fully emptied in a larger container and fills 87.5% of the larger container therefore the larger container is:

100/87.5×16 ounces= 18.285 ounces in liquid capacity

Therefore to fill the smaller 16 ounce container, the larger container would have to pour 16 ounces of liquid into the smaller container, and would would still have 18.285-16=2.285 ounces if it(the larger container) were filled to the brim(100%)

If you are given a3=2 a5=16, find a100.

ra1l [238]

I suppose $a_n$ denotes the n-th term of some sequence, and we're given the 3rd and 5th terms $a_3=2$ and $a_5=16$ . On this information alone, it's impossible to determine the 100th term $a_{100}$ because there are infinitely many sequences where 2 and 16 are the 3rd and 5th terms.

To get around that, I'll offer two plausible solutions based on different assumptions. So bear in mind that this is not a complete answer, and indeed may not even be applicable.

• Assumption 1: the sequence is arithmetic (a.k.a. linear)

In this case, consecutive terms <u>d</u>iffer by a constant d, or

$a_n = a_{n-1} + d$
