1. 2×6/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

6/7×2=12/7

it can't be reduced to lowest term

mixed fraction = 1 5/7

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Explanation:-}$

Solution:-

Given :-

$\sf\dfrac{2×6}{7}$

To find :-

• Multiply of
• Lowest form
• Mixed fraction

Lets do!

Multiply of $\sf\dfrac{2×6}{7}$ = $\sf\dfrac{12}{7}$

_____________________________

We can not convert 12/7 into lowest form It is already in lowest form and HCF of 12,7 is also 1

☆ If the HCF of two numbers is 1 then the two numbers are in Lowest form

Converting into mixed fraction :-

We can convert into mixed fraction When the fraction is said to be improper fraction

Improper fraction :- If the numerator is greater than denominator Then its is called Impoper fraction

• Given fraction 12/7
• Numerator 12
• Denominator 7
• Numerator >Denominator
• Hence it is improper fraction
• We can convert to mixed fraction

12 /7 =

12 can be written as in terms of 7

7 × 1 +5

Mixed fraction =

$1\times \sf\dfrac{5}{7}$

Here 7×1 +5 /7 = 12/7

So, mixed fraction of

$\sf\dfrac{12}{7} = 1 \times \sf\dfrac{5}{7}$
