[tex]2+ \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]3 + \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
[tex]3+ \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]4+ \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6}[/tex] as the sum of a whole number and a fraction is equivalent to [tex]2+ \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Mixed Fraction: [tex]2 \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
Required
Express as the sum of a whole number and fraction.
Given that [tex]2 \frac{3}{6}[/tex] is a mixed fraction; it can be converted to the sum of a whole number and a fraction by following the steps below.
1. Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(6 * 2 + 3)}{6}[/tex]
2. Split the numerator
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{((6 * 2) + (3))}{6}[/tex]
3. Split fraction to 2
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(6 * 2)}{6} +\frac{(3)}{6}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6} = \frac{(12)}{6} +\frac{(3)}{6}[/tex]
[tex]2 \frac{3}{6} = 2 + \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]2 \frac{3}{6}[/tex] as the sum of a whole number and a fraction is equivalent to [tex]2+ \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
