Equal because when you turn it in to a mixed number it turns out to be 7 1/2 :) Hope this helps!
Answer: 43.6 is the answer for your problem. If you have a question, just ask me.
Step 1
Multiply the denominator by the whole number
10 × 1 = 10
Step 2
Add the answer from Step 1 to the numerator
10 + 3 = 13
Step 3
Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator
13/10
10x1+3=10=13/10
So the answer is 13/10..
