Answer:

(a)
\displaystyle 1 (2)/(3)

(b)
\displaystyle (5)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For part (a), we have 1 full pizza and then 2/3 of another pizza. Therefore we have 1 & 2/3 pizzas when writing it as a mixed number. This is the same as writing
    1 (2)/(3)
  • In part (b), we have 5 slices (3 from the first + 2 from the second). Each slice represents one-third. Therefore, the improper fraction representation is 5/3.
