I want to lead you through this. Is that okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Come on man i have like 50 questions :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is not an instant homework site; if you practice and figure these out you will realize each one can take about 5-10 seconds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok help me out then show

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me lead you through this, first, start by taking the mixed fractions (any number with a fraction) and making them improper fractions. For example 2 and 2/3=8/3. This is because 3 goes into 8 twice, and has a remainder of 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did not understand that at all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. There are three common types of fractions. Normal fractions (for the sake of simplicity) are fractions like 3/7, 4/12, etc... anything where the NUMERATOR is LESS THAN the DENOMINATOR. Mixed fractions are fractions like 2 and 2/3, 4 and 5/6... anything with an INTEGER (meaning a number) and A FRACTION. Improper fractions are fractions like 3/2, 7/5, etc...anything where the NUMERATOR is GREATER THAN the DENOMINATOR.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In your problem, you have two mixed fractions, which are HARD TO WORK WITH. We want to convert these fractions from MIXED fractions to IMPROPER fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I tell him the answer please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is against the code of conduct Alexis.

@whatchalookinat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know this pellet man it don't go to my brain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I almost got banned for doing something like this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well can I explain to him?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or can I show him how to get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. That would be fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyway, @musa19965. Think of it this way. You got an apple and a fourth of an apple. You could say you have one and 1/4 apple. Or you can say you have 5/4 of an apple. Does that kind of make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 5/4 × 11/5 = (5 × 11) / (4 × 5) = 55/20 = 11/4 = 2 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lil bit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I explained it for you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job
