OpenStudy (usukidoll):

do you know how to change a mixed fraction into an improper fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mind just giving me the answer I don't have much time

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I can't give direct answers because it is against OpenStudy's Code of Conduct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh I see,

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

yeah it's written in stone "Don't devalue the question/answer process! Don't provide someone with just the answer - explain the process, and help guide them through understanding the problem. Don't just provide the answer to a problem when someone else is in the middle of helping! But if you want to help, by all means, join in!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you like, give it to me in a way that doesn't break the rules?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I can try but I can't guarantee it.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I was asking if you knew how to change a mixed fraction into an improper fraction

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

division for fractions don't exist.. all fraction problems that ask for division require the second fraction to be flipped and multiplication is being used instead.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

that's why for this problem it's easier to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.. and then flip the second fraction

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

for the first fraction |dw:1435147425986:dw| what is 8 x 6 + 1 ?
