Which of the following statement's is false? 12/36 can be simplified as a proper fraction. 18/45 can be simplified as a mixed number. 2 5/7 can be shown equivalent to an improper fraction. 1/6 can be shown as equivalent to a proper fraction
1/6 is a proper fraction 18/45 cannot be simplified as a mixed number 12/36 is a proper fraction Does that help?
Not really is it 18/45
@K-K-K-Kiaa
No, look at this one. 2 5/7 it's a proper fraction, that means it's also capable of being in improper fraction right?
Yeah
A proper fraction is a fraction with the smallest number on top and the larger number at the bottom. A mixed number is something like this: 2 1/2 So, the first one is already simplified to the max, so is the second one. And the last one is a properfraction
So the third one is the only false statement.
Thanks! Could you help with more?
Sure
Which shows 63/36 as a mixed number in simplest form? 21/12 1 3/4 7/9 1 27/36
@K-K-K-Kiaa
Okay, how many times does 63 go into 36? Basically divide 63 by 36. It goes into 36 once with a remaining 27. So it's be 1 27/36 but simplified it's 1.75 or 1 3/4
I swear.... your a lifesaver
