express as improper fractions
Solution:
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator.
A mixed fraction is a way of expressing the numbers which have a fraction in them.
If a mixed fraction A(B/C) is to be converted into an improper fraction then we can derive a formula which will be,
[tex]=A\frac{B}{C} \\ =\frac{A*C+B}{C} [/tex]
So now we can convert the given mixed fraction 3(2/8) into an improper fraction using the stated formula which is,
[tex]=3\frac{2}{8} \\ =\frac{3*8+2}{8} \\ =\frac{26}{8} \\ =\frac{13}{4} [/tex]
Hence, 3(2/8) in improper fraction will be 13/4.
