Question

51/2= 25 1/2Convert to an improper fraction.

Answer 1

The first thing we will do is state the question.

`(51)/(2)=25(1)/(2)`

Left hand side of the equation: This is the answer we would derive after converting the right side of the equation to an inproper fraction.

Right hand side of the equation: To convert, the first thing we would do is multiply the denominator (2) by the whole number (25). Then we add to the numerator (1). We then divide all that by the denominator(2):

`\begin{gathered} (25*2+1)/(2)=(50+1)/(2) \\ =(51)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`25(1)/(2)=(51)/(2)`
