if there are three pies and you cut them into 4 slices each and ate 9 slices write an improper fraction
To find the improper fraction, we need to determine the total number of slices.
3 pies, each cut into 4 slices, means there are 3 x 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 slices.
If you ate 9 slices, the improper fraction representing the number of slices eaten is 9/12.
what about a mixed number
To write the fraction 9/12 as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (12).
9 ÷ 12 = 0 remainder 9
The whole number part is 0, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part. So, the mixed number representing 9/12 is 0 9/12.
To write an improper fraction, you need to express the total number of parts consumed (numerator) over the total number of equal parts in the whole (denominator).
In this scenario, there are three pies, and each pie is cut into 4 equal slices. Thus, the total number of equal parts in the whole is 3 x 4 = 12 slices.
Since you ate 9 slices, you can write it as the improper fraction 9/12.
