To determine which improper fraction is equivalent to 534, we need to convert 534 into an improper fraction.
An improper fraction has a numerator that is larger than the denominator.
To convert a whole number (534) into an improper fraction, we can simply use the number as the numerator and place 1 as the denominator.
So, the improper fraction equivalent to 534 is 534/1.
Now, let's check the given options and find the one that is equivalent to 534/1:
- 34/8: To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. So, 34/8 simplifies to 17/4, which is not equivalent to 534/1.
- 46/8: To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. So, 46/8 simplifies to 23/4, which is not equivalent to 534/1.
- 23/3: This fraction is already in simplified form, and it is not the same as 534/1.
- 46/4: To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. So, 46/4 simplifies to 23/2, which is not equivalent to 534/1.
Therefore, none of the given options (34/8, 46/8, 23/3, 46/4) is equivalent to 534/1.
To find the improper fraction equivalent to 534, we need to divide the numerator (534) by the denominator (1).
534 divided by 1 equals 534.
Therefore, the equivalent improper fraction is 534/1.
