Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{15}{6}$

$2\frac{3}{6}$
Convert $2\frac{3}{6}$ into mixed fraction using the formula

$\text{Improper Fraction}=\frac{\text{(Whole number}\times \text{Denominator})+Numerator}{\text{Denominator}}$

Step 1: First, multiply 2 by 12 and add 3:
$\text{Whole number}\times \text{Denominator}+Numerator$ = (2 × 6) + 3 = 15

Step 2: Use this result as your numerator, and place it over the denominator you already have.
$\frac{\text{(Whole number}\times \text{Denominator})+Numerator}{\text{Denominator}}=\frac{15}{6}$

So, the mixed fraction $2\frac{3}{6}$ equals the improper fraction $\frac{15}{6}$
