One of the hiking trails at a state park is 14/3 miles long. Which mixed number shows the length of the hiking trail? A- 4 2/3 miles B- 4 1/3 miles C- 3 2/3 miles D- 3 1/3 miles

Answer 1

A- 4 2/3 miles

Explanation:

To find the mixed fraction, we divide the numerator with the denominator to get a whole number and a remainder. the remainder becomes the numerator of the proper fraction included in the improper fraction.

14÷3=4 remainder 3.

Therefore our fraction becomes,4 2/3 miles.

Answer 2

A- 4 2/3 miles

Explanation:

We are given that one of the hiking trails at a state park is
`\frac { 14 } { 3 }` miles long.

We are to determine whether which of the given answer options shows the length of the hiking trail in mixed number.

Basically, we need to divide 14 by 3 to get:
`4 \frac { 2 } { 3 }`

So the correct answer option is A.
`4 \frac { 2 } { 3 }`.
