6/5

11/7

21/4
​

Answer 1

Given:

The fractions are:

`(6)/(5),(11)/(7),(21)/(4)`

To find:

The each fraction as the sum of a whole number and a fraction less than 1.

Solution:

The given fraction is
`(6)/(5)`.

`(6)/(5)=(5+1)/(5)`

`(6)/(5)=(5)/(5)+(1)/(5)`

`(6)/(5)=1+(1)/(5)`

Therefore, the given fraction
`(6)/(5)` can be written as
`1+(1)/(5)`.

The given fraction is
`(11)/(7)`.

`(11)/(7)=(7+4)/(7)`

`(11)/(7)=(7)/(7)+(4)/(7)`

`(11)/(7)=1+(4)/(7)`

Therefore, the given fraction
`(11)/(7)` can be written as
`1+(4)/(7)`.

The given fraction is
`(21)/(4)`.

`(21)/(4)=(20+1)/(4)`

`(21)/(4)=(20)/(4)+(1)/(4)`

`(21)/(4)=5+(1)/(4)`

Therefore, the given fraction
`(21)/(4)` can be written as
`5+(1)/(4)`.
