for example
to make 2 3/4 into improper fraction, I would do this:
\(\sf\Large \frac{(2\times 4) + 3}{4} = \frac{8+3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 8/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 5*1+3 }{ 5 }=\frac{ 8 }{ 5 }\] thats what i got
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
good job! :D
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

sorry
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Remember, the rule for multiplying fractions:
\(\sf\Large \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8/1 or 8?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its c?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
Anything divided by 1 is the same thing.
So 8 is correct :)
