Answer 1

the answer is 3 im like 50 50 with that but i tried

hope this helped

Explanation:

Step 1 - Find Whole Number

Calculate out how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. To do that, divide 7 by 3 and keep only what is to the left of the decimal point:

7 / 3 = 2.3333 = 2

Step 2 - Find New Numerator

Multiply the answer from Step 1 by the denominator and deduct that from the original numerator.

7 - (3 x 2) = 1

Step 3 - Get Solution

Keep the original denominator and use the answers from Step 1 and Step 2 to get the answer. 7/3 as a mixed number is:

2 1

3 well 2 and 1/3rd
