A capybara is the worlds largest rodent . It can grow to be 1 3/10 m long. Write an improper fraction that represents the length of the capybara? Please show work of how you got answer. Thanks
the capybara is 1m + 3/10m
1m = 10/10m
10/10 + 3/10 = 13/10m
improper fraction means numerator is larger than denominator, so the length is 13/10m
To convert the mixed number, 1 3/10, to an improper fraction, you need to multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (10) and add the numerator (3). Then, you place the sum over the denominator.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (10): 1 * 10 = 10.
2. Add the numerator (3) to the result from the previous step: 10 + 3 = 13.
3. Place the sum (13) over the denominator (10).
So, the improper fraction representing the length of the capybara is 13/10.
