The improper fraction is and mixed number is .

• A. $\frac{5701}{1000}$
• B. $5\frac{701}{1000}$
• C. $\frac{5701}{100}$
• D. $5\frac{701}{100}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

$5\frac{701}{1000}$

Shift the decimal point of 5.701 to the far right to get the numerator.

And denominator is 1 followed the same number of zeros as the number of times the decimal point is shifted towards right.

$5.701=\frac{Numerator}{Denominator}$
$\Rightarrow 5.7=\frac{5701}{Denominator}$

Here the denominator will have 1 followed by three zeros as the decimal point in the numerator is shifted three times to rightwards.
$5.701=\frac{5701}{1000}$
This is the improper fraction.

Let's find the mixed number.

$5.701=15+0.701$

Similarly, we convert 0.701 into its fractional form.

$5.701=5+\frac{Numerator}{Denominator}$
$\Rightarrow 5.701=5+\frac{701.0}{Denominator}$
$\Rightarrow 5.701=5+\frac{701}{1000}$
$\Rightarrow 5.701=5\frac{701}{1000}$
