Question

How do you write 11 3/8 as an improper fraction?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

One process is:

`11 3/8 = 11 + 3/8 = (8/8 xx 11) + 3/8 = 88/8 + 3/8 = (88 + 3)/8 = 91/8`

Another process is:

• First, multiply the integer by the denominator: `11 xx 8 = 88`

• Next, add this result to the numerator: `88 + 3 = 91`

• Now, put this result over the denominator: `91/8`
