Question 79.

Express 6$\frac{2}{3}$ as an improper fraction.

Answer 1

If we have a mixed fraction $\text{Whole}\frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}$, then it can be expressed as an improper fraction as:

$\text{Whole}\frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}=\frac{\text{Whole number}\times \text{Denominator + Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}}$

On substituting the values we get:

6$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{6\times 3+2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}$
