Answer 2

Answer: 26/3

Explanation: To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number and then add the numerator.

So here, we multiply the denominator, 2, times the whole number, 8, and then we add the numerator, 2.

So we have (3 x 8) which is 24 and if we add 1 we get 25.

Finally, we put our new number over our old denominator and we have our answer 26/3.

So 8 and 2/3 can be rewritten as the improper fraction 26/3.
