Question

Rewrite 2 4/7 as an improper fraction.

Answer 1

`(18)/(7)`

Explanation:

`2(4)/(7)`

→ Multiply 7 by 2 then add 4

7 × 2 = 14 + 4 = 18 ⇔ Numerator

7 ⇔ Denominator

Answer 2

Answer: 18/7

Explanation: To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply

the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.

So here, we multiply the denominator, 7, times the

whole number, 2, then we add the numerator, 4.

So we have (7 × 2) + 4 or 14 + 4 which is 18.

Finally, we put our new number over our

old denominator and we have our answer, 18/7.

So 2 and 4/7 can be rewritten as the improper fraction 18/7.
