What is 2 and 1 forths in simplest form in a mixed number? I got the same answer. Am I right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah i think so

Directrix (directrix):

A mixed fraction is a whole number and a fraction combined into one "mixed" number. 2 and 1/4 would be as a mixed number: 2 1/4 which is what I think you are saying.|dw:1416311293339:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

(fourths = quarters)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is - 2 and three eigths expressed as an improper fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I cant type the actual numbers.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

is that - (2+3/8) or -2+(3/8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. It's this.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i think that means the same thing as -(2 3/8)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

first step is to convert the 2, into eighths

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

2 = 2 x 1 = 2 x 8/8 = ? /8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- 19/8??

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

convert the fractions to all have the same denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the final answer 37/16??

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the denominator of the answer should be the lowest common multiple of 3, 6 and 12, (which is not 16 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the denominator is 12?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

that's right

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
