3 5 / 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 5 1 / 2 to a improper fraction: 5 1/2 = 5 1 / 2
= 5 · 2 + 1 / 2 = 10 + 1 / 2 = 11 / 2
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator 2. Whole number 5 equally 5 * 2 / 2 = 10 / 2
b) Add the answer from previous step 10 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 10 + 1 = 11
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 2.
Five and one half is eleven halfs
Conversion a mixed number 1 2 / 3 to a improper fraction: 1 2/3 = 1 2 / 3 = 1 · 3 + 2 / 3 = 3 + 2 / 3 = 5 / 3
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 3. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 3 / 3 = 3 / 3
b) Add the answer from previous step 3 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 3 + 2 = 5
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 3.
One and two thirds is five thirds
Subtract: 11 / 2 - 5 / 3 = 11 · 3 / 2 · 3 - 5 · 2 / 3 · 2 = 33 / 6 - 10 / 6 = 33 - 10 / 6 = 23 / 6
Simplify : 23/6 divide = 3 5/6
