Question

Write an improper fraction using the following criteria:

• an improper fraction
• the value is between 1 and 5
• the denominator is 7

Answer 1

21/7

Divide 21(numerator) by 7 (denominator) and you get 3 which is between 1 and 5

Answer 2

Let's take this number:

28/7

WHY this number fits the criteria?

• It's an improper fraction since the numerator is higher than the denominator
• It's value IS between 1-5 because 28 divided by 7 = 4, 4 is in middle of 1-4
• The denominator IS 7

How did I find this number?

• I did 7x4 to get the numerator, so that it would be between 1-5
• And I made sure that it's an improper fraction
• And also, I made sure that the denominator is 7

Hence, 28/7 can be one answer
