Question

Nexus distributed 3 whole pies and a third of another. How much pie did he distribute?

• A. $\frac{9}{3}$
• B. $\frac{10}{3}$
• C. $\frac{11}{3}$
• D. $\frac{12}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{10}{3}$

Nexus distributed 3 whole pies and a third of another.
If we convert this into a mixed fraction, the fraction obtained is:
$3\frac{1}{3}$
Let's convert this mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

$\frac{(3\times 3)+1}{3}=\frac{9+1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$
