Answer:
The fraction that represents the heart in the diagram shown is 7/3
Explanation:
For this problem, we have to find the fraction expressed by the number line in the diagram shown.
First off, we know that the fraction will be between 2 and 3. Second, we know that each little dash between 2 and 3 represents 1/6.So, let's use this information to find the fraction.
Since the heart is two dashes away from 2, then this part of the fraction is 2/6 which can also be simplified to 1/3.
2 1/3
Since we can not have a mixed fraction, then we are going to turn this mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying 2 with the denominator (which is 3) and adding the numerator (which is 1) to that product. Our denominator will stay the same in the final fraction.
2 1/3 = 7/3
So, the fraction represented by the heart is 7/3
