Question

If you roll a 3 and a 4 what are the two different fractions you could make? Express one of the above fractions as a mixed number. Which of the two fractions would you rather use and why?​

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)` ,
`(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

If we have 3 and 4

We can make 2 different fractions

first one
`(3)/(4)`

second one
`(4)/(3)`

To express a fraction as mixed fraction, it must be greater than one

The second fraction is greater than 1

⇒Mixed form of
`(4)/(3)= 1(1)/(3)`

I would not use a mixed form

A simple fraction form is better to use as all operations such as addition,subtraction,division,multiplication are done in this form.

To do this operations on a Mixed number, we convert it back to simple fraction,

So Simple fraction form is better to be used
