Question

How many ninths are there in 9 2/3

Answer 1

87

Explanation:

9 2/3 = 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 6/9 = 87/9

Answer 2

Answer: 87 ninths

Explanation:

See how many 1/9ths fit inside 9 2/3 using division

`9\:(2)/(3)/ (1)/(9)` or

`(29)/(3)/ (1)/(9)`

`=(29)/(3)* (9)/(1)`

`= (87)/(1)`

`=87`

Test to see if 1/9 goes into 9 2/3 87 times

87 * 1/9

`= (87)/(9)`

`=(29)/(3)`

29/3 as a mixed fraction is 9 2/3. So therefore, there are 87 ninths in 9 2/3
