Question

Ms. Fuller has 2 2/6 pies left over from her party. Write the number of pies left over as a fraction greater than 1.

Answer 1

`(14)/(6)`

Explanation:

A mixed fraction of the form
`a(b)/(c)` can be converted into an improper fraction by writing it in the form
`((ac)+b)/(c)` . By applying this formula , we can see that
`2(2)/(6) = (12 +2)/(6) =(14)/(6)` . As numerator is greater than the denominator , we can see that the answer is greater than one and thus it is an improper fraction.
