Question

Convert 2 18/240 to an improper fraction in lowest terms

Answer 1

`(249)/(120)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to convert the given mixed fraction to an improper fraction

If we have a fraction of the form:

`a\text{ }(b)/(c)`

To convert to an improper fraction, we have:

`\frac{(a* c)\text{ + b}}{c}`

We apply the same principle here as follows:

`((240*2)+18)/(240)\text{ = }(498)/(240)\text{ = }(249)/(120)`
