Question

Answer 1

Answer:

87

Step-by-step explanation:

9 2/3 = 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 9/9 + 6/9 = 87/9

Answer 2

Answer: 87 ninths

Step-by-step explanation:

See how many 1/9ths fit inside 9 2/3 using division

$9\:\frac{2}{3}\div \frac{1}{9}$ or

$\frac{29}{3}\div \frac{1}{9}$

$=\frac{29}{3}\times \frac{9}{1}$

$= \frac{87}{1}$

$=87$

Test to see if 1/9 goes into 9 2/3 87 times

87 * 1/9

$= \frac{87}{9}$

$=\frac{29}{3}$

29/3 as a mixed fraction is 9 2/3. So therefore, there are 87 ninths in 9 2/3
