GE
4) Write the following number as an improper fraction: 8 5/6.
1. 53/6
2. 40/6
3. 53/8
4. 45/6
EK
Answer: 1
Explanation: Multiply the whole number by the denominator, and add the numerator. 8 × 6 =
48 + 5 = 53. Place this number over the denominator for 53/6
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Changing mixed to improper form.
??

, 5) Write the following number as an improper fraction: 5 5/6.
1. 35/6
2. 30/6
3. 25/6
4. 41/6
Answer: 1
Explanation: Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator: 5 × 6 = 30
+ 5 = 35. Place this number over the denominator: 35/6
ST
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Changing improper to mixed form.

6) Write the following number as an improper fraction: 8 1/3.
1. 11/3
2. 24/3
UV
3. 8/3
4. 25/3
Answer: 4
Explanation: Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator: 8 × 3 = 24
+ 1 = 25 Place this number over the denominator: 25/3
IA
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Changing improper to mixed form.

7) Write 0.125 as a fraction in lowest terms and as a percentage.
