5 5/6 x 1 3/4

Question

How do I convert a whole number and a fraction to a fraction notation?

 

5 5/6 x 1 3/4

Answer 1

To convert to an improper fraction you simply need to multiply the number in front by the denominator and add the numerator.

 

5 5/6 = (5*6+5)/6 = 35/6

1 3/4 = (1*4+3)/4 = 7/4

 

You can then multiply the two fractions

 

(35*7)/(4*6) = 245/24

 

Answer 2

I believe what you are asking is how do I convert a mixed number to an improper fraction. Here your mixed number is 5 5/6. To convert, you take the denominator 6, multiply by your whole number 5, and add that to your existing numerator 5 to equal your new numerator. Put that new numerator over the old denominator. So for 5 5/6, the improper fraction would be 35/6. Hope that helps!
