Question

The mixed fraction representation of $\frac{7}{3}$ is ______.

• A. $2.3333$
• B. $2\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $7\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{3}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2\frac{1}{3}$

Divide the numerator by denominator and write the quotient next to the fraction with the remainder in the numerator and the original denominator to get the mixed fraction.
When $7$ is divided by $3$, the quotient is $2$ and the remainder is $1$.
So, the mixed fraction representation of $\frac{7}{3}$ is $2\frac{1}{3}$.
