6 4/6 denominator x whole number + numerator = new numertaror so it would be 6 40/6 or what

OpenStudy (amistre64):

close, but you already used that 6 so its already in the problem.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

40/6

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and no its not denominator times whole number + numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what my homework says

OpenStudy (amistre64):

than your homework is more about teaching you a method instead of the math.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which is why you wrote the answer as 6 40/6 .... the method is not the math

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you have 6 pies cut into 6 pieces each, how many peices do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, now add 4 stray pieces to that and how many piece do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

OpenStudy (amistre64):

very good :) 40 pieces of pie; and each piece is 1/6 of a pie; so you have, 40/6 of pies in total :)
