Question

a$\frac{b}{c}$ is called a/an ____ and is equal to ____.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

A mixed fraction is a combination of whole number and a proper fraction.
$a\frac{b}{c}$ is called a mixed fraction.

'a' is whole number part and $\frac{b}{c}$ is a fractional part
e.g. $2\frac{3}{4}$, $5\frac{1}{6}$

and $a\frac{b}{c}=a+\frac{b}{c}$
e.g. $2\frac{3}{4}$ = $2+\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$
= $\frac{11}{4}$
