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 :)

Answer:

7 and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we check out what is √49 and √64, we can see that they equal 7 and 8 respectively. Since √56 is between √49 and √64, we can say that √56 is between 7 and 8.

For the following geometric sequence find the recursive formula: {-1, 3, -9, ...}.

vredina [299]

First term (a1) is -1

recursive formula goes like this

$a_n$ is the nth term
$a_{n-1}$ is the term before that

we normally have $a_n=f(a_{n-1})$

we see each term is multipying by -3 to get next one

so that would be
$a_n=-3*a_{n-1}$ where a1=-1

the 3rd option is correct except that it is the explicit formula

so answer is 2nd one
