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

Step-by-step 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 ...

`(50)/(7)=(49+1)/(7)=(7\cdot 7+1)/(7)\\\\=(7\cdot 7)/(7)+(1)/(7)=7+(1)/(7)=7(1)/(7)`
