1 1/9, they're the same thing though. So I do not know why it should matter.

BTW Thank you for you help on my last question. :)

Writing as a mixed number or an improper fraction really depends if the problem says to leave it as improper or as a mixed number....

shamil98 · Answer

But usually they say to write it as a mixed number

anonymous · Answer

I am taking an online course, and my answers need to be typed in. If I don't type in the exact answer, I get that question wrong. Therefore, this is very important.

anonymous · Answer

actually $1\tfrac{1}{9}$ is not a fraction
they are certainly equal, but a fraction is one integer divided (over) another integer

shamil98 · Answer

in that case do 10/9

shamil98 · Answer

It might misinterpret 1 1/9

Mixed number is technically more correct, but usually it doesn't really matter!

anonymous · Answer

Yes, you're probably right.
