How do you make 15 and 9 over 6 a proper fractoon?

Answer 1

To convert the fraction ( \frac{15}{9} ) to a proper fraction, you can simplify it. First, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. This gives you ( \frac{5}{3} ), which is still an improper fraction. To express it as a proper fraction, you can represent it as ( 1 \frac{2}{3} ) (one whole and two-thirds).

To address the "over 6" part, you could express ( \frac{15}{9} ) in terms of a denominator of 6 by finding an equivalent fraction: ( \frac{15}{9} = \frac{10}{6} ) after simplification. However, this is still improper; as a mixed number, it would be ( 1 \frac{2}{6} ) or simplified further to ( 1 \frac{1}{3} ).
