Question

@sammixboo what mixed number falls in between 17/5 and 7/2

Answer 1

Okay first we need to make these improper fractions into mixed fractions...

\(\sf \large \color{magenta}{\frac{17}{5}}\) ---- \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{2}{5}}\)

\(\sf \large \color{magenta}{\frac{7}{2}}\) --- \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{1}{2}}\)

Answer 2

Then we need to make the mixed fractions into twenties.
\(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{2 x 4}{5 x 4}}\) --- \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{8}{20}}\)

\(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{1 x 10}{2 x 10}}\) ---- \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{10}{20}}\)

Answer 3

Now tell me what fraction is between \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{8}{20}}\) and \(\sf \large \color{magenta}{3\frac{10}{20}}\)
