Leigh has a piece of rope that is 6 2/3 feet long. How do you write 6 2/3 as a fraction greater than 1
20/3 - Take the 6 2/3, multiply the 6 and the 3 (6 x 3 = 18), then add the 2 (18 + 2 = 20). Put that number over the original 3 and you've got yourself a mixed number.
Answer:
\(\frac{20}{3}\) an improper fraction greater than 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Leigh has a piece of rope that is \(6\frac{2}{3}\) feet long.
To write : \(6\frac{2}{3}\) as a fraction greater than 1.
Solution :
Step 1 - Write the expression
\(6\frac{2}{3}\) it is in the mixed fraction form
Step 2 - Convert mixed fraction into fraction follow the steps:
Step (a) - Multiply the denominator by the whole number \(3\times6 = 18\)
Step (b) - Add the answer from Step (a) to the numerator \(18+2=20\)
Step (c) - Write answer from Step (b) over the denominator \(\frac{20}{3}\)
Therefore, the required fraction is \(\frac{20}{3}\)
We know in a fraction if numerator is greater than the denominator, the fraction is called an improper fraction and an improper fraction is always greater than 1.
Numerator 20>3 denominator
Hence, The required fraction is greater than 1.
