Question

The improper fraction 38/9 is equivalent to the mixed number 4 2/9.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

True I think

Answer 4

that should be "True! Definitely!" :-)

4*9 = 36
36+2 = 38

Answer 5

Haha thank you! For helping me!

Answer 6

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 :-)
