Question

Marconi ran $4\frac{5}{7}$ miles. Represent the miles in the form of improper fraction.

• A. $\frac{33}{7}$
• B. $\frac{33}{5}$
• C. $\frac{27}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{33}{7}$

We have 4 whole and 5 sevenths.
We have a total of 33 sevenths. So improper fraction will be $\frac{33}{7}$

Alternative:
$\text{Improper Fraction}=\frac{\text{(Whole number}\times Denominator)}{\text{Denominator}}$
$4\frac{5}{7}=\frac{4\times 7+5}{7}=\frac{28+5}{7}=\frac{33}{7}$
