4. 3
Answer: 3
Explanation: Divide the numerator by the denominator: 7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 remaining or 3 1/2
PR
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Changing improper to mixed form.

4) Write the following number as an improper fraction: 8 5/6.
1. 53/6
OV
2. 40/6
3. 53/8
4. 45/6
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
ED
Learning Outcome: 1.1 Changing mixed to improper form.
