Applied Probability and Statistics C955 Questions with
CORRECT Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1:
Changing Im-
proper Fractions
and Mixed Num-
bers
Answer:
Improper fractions can be converted to mixed numbers by following these steps:
Write division problem with numerator divided by denominator.
Divide to determine quotient and remainder.
Write mixed number with the quotient as the whole number and the remainder
as the numerator over the same denominator.
Question 2:
Changing Mixed
Numbers Into
Improper Frac-
tions
Answer:
Mixed numbers can also be converted to improper fractions by following these
steps:
Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction.
To the product given by step 1, add the number of the numerator.
Write the result of step 2 as the numerator of the improper fraction. The denomi-
nator of the improper fraction should be the denominator of the original fraction.
Simplify the improper fraction by diving the numerator and denominator by all
common factors.
