Question

Ariel baked treats for 3 $\frac{6}{18}$ hrs. Convert the time into its simplest form and then write the mixed number as an improper fraction.

• A. $\frac{10}{3}$
• B. $\frac{3}{10}$
• C. $\frac{6}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{10}{3}$

Total time taken to bake the treats
= 3 $\frac{6}{18}$
Simplify into its simplest form:
$\therefore$ 3 $\frac{6}{18}$ = 3 $\frac{6}{3\times 6}$
= 3 $\frac{1}{3}$
Convert the fraction into improper fraction.
$\therefore$ 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ = 3 + $\frac{1}{3}$
=$\frac{3\times 3+1}{3}$
=$\frac{9+1}{3}$
Hence , 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{10}{3}$
