Question

Fraction - write the equivalent mixed number : 50/7 = ? (7 1/7) please can you help me to learn how it becomes 7 1/7 can you show me the work so I can do others

Answer 1

Explanation:

When you perform long division of 50 by 7, you find that the quotient is 7 and the remainder is 1. The remainder expressed over the original divisor is the fraction. (In some cases, that fraction may need to be reduced.)

That is ...

$\dfrac{50}{7}=\dfrac{49+1}{7}=\dfrac{7\cdot 7+1}{7}\\\\=\dfrac{7\cdot 7}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}=7+\dfrac{1}{7}=7\frac{1}{7}$
