What Improper fraction falls in between 8/3 and 3

Question

sammixboo · Answer

Okay we need to change $\sf \large \color{magenta}{\frac{8}{3}}$ into a mixed fraction (when we are done we will change the answer to improper)

$\sf \large \color{magenta}{\frac{8}{3}}$ --- $\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{2}{3}}$

Now we need to multiply $\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{2}{3}}$ by two, because there is no fraction between $\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{2}{3}}$ and $\sf \large \color{magenta}{3}$...

$\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{2 x 2}{3 x 2}}$ --- $\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{4}{6}}$

So now we find the fraction between $\sf \large \color{magenta}{2\frac{4}{6}}$ and $\sf \large \color{magenta}{3}$
