Question

Nina has invited her friends to her home. She is preparing mixed fruit juice for everyone.
To prepare mixed fruit juice, she needs 4$\frac{2}{6}$ glass of blueberry juice. Her mother asks if she can write this mixed fraction as an improper fraction. Can you help her?

• A. $\frac{13}{6}$
• B. $\frac{26}{6}$
• C. $\frac{6}{6}$
• D. $\frac{8}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{26}{6}$

Nina needs 4 $\frac{2}{6}$ glasses of blueberry juice.

We can write this mixed fraction as an improper fraction using this formula:

$\frac{(Whole\times Denominator)+Numerator}{Denominator}$

Here, Whole = 4
Denominator = 6
Numerator = 2

Putting these values in the formula, we get:

$\frac{(4\times 6)+2}{6}$ = $\frac{24+2}{6}$ = $\frac{26}{6}$

Hence, 4 $\frac{2}{6}$ written as an improper fraction is $\frac{26}{6}$.
