How much is one and one third?
One and one third is the same as saying one whole piece and one third of a piece.The big number is the whole and the part of a number is the fraction. This type of fraction is called a mixed number.
When you are dividing a mixed number do you dividee the whole number?
A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction, so when dividing into it, both the whole number and the fraction are divided by the divisor. When working with mixed numbers is it (almost) always much easier to convert them to improper fractions first, do the operation(s) and convert any resulting improper fraction to a mixed number. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator to form the new numerator and keep the denominator the same. eg 3 4/7 = (3x7 + 4)/7 = 25/7 To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number divide the numerator by the denominator to get a whole number quotient and a remainder. The whole number is the whole number and the remainder is the numerator over the original denominator. eg 25/7 → 25 ÷ 7 = 3 r 4 → 25/7 = 3 4/7
How much is 3 and a half pounds written as a combination of whole pounds and whole ounces explain?
3 and a half pounds is equivalent to 3 pounds and 8 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so half a pound is equal to 8 ounces. Therefore, the combination of whole pounds and whole ounces is 3 pounds and 8 ounces.
How do you multiply a fraction to a whole number?
Realize that the whole number can be written as a fraction too. For example, let's say you want the product of 30 and 1/2 30 is the same thing as 30/1 30/1 * 1/2 can be solved my multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. This will leave you with 30/2 = 15 As you get more experienced with this, you will do this much quicker and almost subconsciously.
How do you change improper fractions into a mixed fraction?
1. See how many times the denominator or numerator goes into the numerator or denominator.2. Write the answer as a whole number.3. Draw a fraction bar next to it and write the original denominator.4. On top, write the number of how much is left.5. There is your answer!Example: 8/3 How much times does the denominator go into the numerator? 2 times. So, 2 is the whole number.The original denominator given is 3, so you put it in like this: 2 /3 (2 is there because it is the whole number, and you must keep it next to it.)After, see how much is left. If you add 2 to the denominator, you will get the numerator's number. Put the added number as the numerator So, the answer will be: 2 and 2/3.
