Question

I new to this....
But the thing asks for me to find the improper fraction of 5 and 3/10....
It sounds easy, and probably is, but I'm stump. O.o

Answer 1

convert 5 into tenths

Answer 2

50? :L

Answer 3

Equation:
\[5\frac{3}{10}\]
The end goal is to remove the 5 and make the numerator bigger than the denominator. First, multiply the whole number and the denominator:
\[5*10\]
\[50\]
Add this number to the numerator, while removing the whole number:
\[5\frac{3}{10}\]
\[\frac{50+3}{10}\]
\[\frac{53}{10}\]
TADA

Answer 4

O_O

Answer 5

Read the instructions. If anything doesn't make sense, just say so.

Answer 6

yeah 5 is 50 tenths,

so 5 + 3/10
= 50/10 + 3/10
= (50+3)/10
=

Answer 7

Ugh, I probably look pretty stupid right now....

Answer 8

No, its fine. Just say where you don't understand

Answer 9

Ok, you know where they say 5?
That just means there are 5 other \(\frac{10}{10}\), they just left it out. So,, instead of saying:
\[5\frac{3}{10}\]
We can say:
\[\frac{10}{10}+\frac{10}{10}+\frac{10}{10}+\frac{10}{10}+\frac{10}{10}+\frac{3}{10}\]

Answer 10

Oh, I guess I get it now...
Thanks

Answer 11

Now, we can just add up all the numerators:
\[\frac{10+10+10+10+10+3}{10}\]
\[\frac{53}{10}\]
