Identify the missing value in the given expression
$\frac{49}{8}$ = $6\frac{\square }{8}$

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1

The missing value is the numerator of the mixed fraction of $6\frac{1}{8}$

Let's convert $\frac{49}{8}$ into its mixed fraction to find the missing value:
Divide $\frac{49}{8}$ using long division to convert into it's mixed fraction



$\frac{49}{8}=6R1$

$\therefore \frac{49}{8}\text{can be written as}\text{quotient}\frac{\text{remainder}}{\text{divisor}}i.e.6\frac{1}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{49}{8}=6\frac{\square }{8}=6\frac{1}{8}$

Hence the missing value is 1.
