Answer 1

Answer:

A- 4 2/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one of the hiking trails at a state park is $\frac { 14 } { 3 }$ miles long.

We are to determine whether which of the given answer options shows the length of the hiking trail in mixed number.

Basically, we need to divide 14 by 3 to get: $4 \frac { 2 } { 3 }$

So the correct answer option is A. $4 \frac { 2 } { 3 }$.

Answer 2

Answer:

A- 4 2/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mixed fraction, we divide the numerator with the denominator to get a whole number and a remainder. the remainder becomes the numerator of the proper fraction included in the improper fraction.

14÷3=4 remainder 3.

Therefore our fraction becomes,4 2/3 miles.
