Question

Express the given as improper fractions :

$5\frac{6}{7}$

Answer 1

We can change a mixed number to a fraction by adding.

$$\begin{gathered} 5\frac{6}{7}=5+\frac{6}{7} \\ =\frac{5}{1}+\frac{6}{7} \\ =\frac{35}{7}+\frac{6}{7} \\ =\frac{41}{7} \end{gathered}$$

Hence the required answer is $\frac{41}{7}$
