whpalmer4 · Answer

If you have an mixed number   A + B/C   (in this case, A = 4, B =2, C = 9)

that is equivalent to the improper fraction (A*C + B)/C

given that, do you think it is true, or false?

True I think

whpalmer4 · Answer

that should be "True!  Definitely!" :-)

4*9 = 36 
36+2 = 38

anonymous · Answer

Haha thank you! For helping me!

whpalmer4 · Answer

remember, the whole number gets multiplied by 1 (which doesn't change its value) but that is 1 written as denominator/denominator:

4 * 9/9 = 36/9

then we add the fraction: 2/9

36/9 + 2/9 = (36+2)/9 = 38/9

Easy peasy :-)
