• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{50}{7}$

$7\frac{1}{7}$
Convert $7\frac{1}{7}$ into a mixed fraction using the formula

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

Step 1: First, multiply 7 by 7 and add 1:
$\text{Whole number}\times \text{Denominator}+Numerator$ = (7 × 7) + 1 = 50

Step 2: Use this result as your numerator, and place it over the denominator you already have.
$\frac{\text{(Whole number}\times \text{Denominator})+Numerator}{\text{Denominator}}=\frac{50}{7}$

So, the mixed fraction $7\frac{1}{7}$ equals the improper fraction $\frac{50}{7}$
