Final answer:
To write 5(1)/(6) as an improper fraction, we can multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and then add the numerator.
Step-by-step explanation:
To write 5(1)/(6) as an improper fraction, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. The mixed number consists of a whole number part (5) and a proper fraction part (1/6). To convert it into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and then add the numerator. The result becomes the numerator of the improper fraction, and the denominator remains the same. Applying this, we get 5(1)/(6) = (5 * 6 + 1)/(6) = 31/(6).
