Question

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

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

Answer 1

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

Divide the numerator by the 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.
Therefore, the mixed fraction representation of $\frac{7}{3}$ is $2\frac{1}{3}$.
