Question

What do we get when we represent $\frac{27}{4}$ as sum of a whole number and a proper fraction?

• A. $\text{6 +}\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $\text{20 +}\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\text{6 +}\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\text{5 +}\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\text{6 +}\frac{3}{4}$

We need to represent the given fraction as a sum of a whole number and a proper fraction.

We will write the numerator as a sum of two numbers out of which one is divisible by 4 and the other number forms a proper fraction with 4 in the denominator.

Dividing 27 by 4,
4 ) 27 ( 6
24
3
Hence, $\frac{27}{4}=6+\frac{3}{4}$
