Can you help me with my new math homework?
Regroup each mixed number by regrouping a 1 from the whole number.
1 1/4. 8 5/12. 4 5/9. 2 1/3
Can you please explain each one of this problem for me please step by step.thank you!
It is only adding 1 whole number to the fraction that make looks like improper fraction; say
1 1/4 = 5/4; adding 4/4 to 1/4. 4/4 is the fraction of 1 taken from the whole number
8 5/12 = 7 17/12 (added 12/12 to 5/12)
4 5/9 = 3 14/9 (added 9/9 to 5/9)
2 1/3 = 1 4/3 (added 3/3 to 1/3)
An easy way to solve is to multiply the coefficient (number in front of fraction) by the denominator (number in the bottom of the fraction) and place that number above denominator.
4 3/4 = (4x4) + 3)/4= 19/4
8 5/12 = (8x12) +5)/12 = 101/12 (add 96/12 + 5/12)
4 5/9 = ((4x9) +5)/9 = 41/9 (add 36/9 + 5/9)
2 1/3 = ((2x3) +1)/3 = 7/3 (add 6/3 + 1/3)
The first answer for the first question is right but in the next three questions you are just adding 1 instead of the correct number stated by the coefficient (number in front of the fraction)
heres another example:
3 5/7 = add (3x7)/7 and 5/7 = 21/7 + 5/7 = 26/7
^
^-coefficient is 3 and 21/7 = 3
i need help with 2 - 2/3
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your math homework. Let's go through each problem step by step:
1) 1 1/4:
To regroup this mixed number, we need to focus on the whole number part, which is 1. We can think of 1 as a sum of 1 whole and a fraction of 0/4. So, we rewrite the mixed number as 1 + 0/4 + 1/4.
Simplifying this gives us 1 0/4 + 1/4. Since 0/4 is equivalent to 0, we can remove it and rewrite the mixed number as 1 + 1/4, which is the final regrouped form of 1 1/4.
2) 8 5/12:
Similar to the previous problem, we focus on the whole number part, which is 8. We rewrite 8 as a sum of 8 whole and a fraction of 0/12. So, we have 8 + 0/12 + 5/12.
Simplifying this gives us 8 0/12 + 5/12. Again, since 0/12 is equivalent to 0, we can remove it and rewrite the mixed number as 8 + 5/12, which is the final regrouped form of 8 5/12.
3) 4 5/9:
For this problem, the whole number part is 4. We rewrite 4 as 4 whole and a fraction of 0/9. So, we have 4 + 0/9 + 5/9.
Simplifying this gives us 4 0/9 + 5/9. Since 0/9 is equivalent to 0, we can remove it and rewrite the mixed number as 4 + 5/9, which is the final regrouped form of 4 5/9.
4) 2 1/3:
Lastly, we have 2 1/3. For the whole number part, which is 2, we rewrite it as 2 whole and a fraction of 0/3. So, we have 2 + 0/3 + 1/3.
Simplifying this gives us 2 0/3 + 1/3. Since 0/3 is equivalent to 0, we can remove it and rewrite the mixed number as 2 + 1/3, which is the final regrouped form of 2 1/3.
Remember, when regrouping mixed numbers, we focus on the whole number part and rewrite it as a sum of a whole number and a fraction, while simplifying any unnecessary fractions to get the regrouped form of the mixed number.
