Write each mixed number as an improper fraction.
2 2/3, 1 5/8 , 3 4/5
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fractional part and add the numerator. The resulting sum is then placed over the denominator.
For the given mixed numbers:
1) 2 2/3
The denominator of the fraction is already 3.
So, (2 * 3) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8.
Therefore, 2 2/3 as an improper fraction is 8/3.
2) 1 5/8
The denominator of the fraction is already 8.
So, (1 * 8) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13.
Therefore, 1 5/8 as an improper fraction is 13/8.
3) 3 4/5
The denominator of the fraction is already 5.
So, (3 * 5) + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19.
Therefore, 3 4/5 as an improper fraction is 19/5.
