Question

Which mixed number is equivalent to the improper fraction?

14/9

A. 1 5/9
B. 2 5/9
C. 2 4/9
D. 1 4/8

Answer 1

Hello,

Letter "A" would be the mixed number equivalent to the improper fraction 14/9.

To turn 14/9 into a mixed number, you would see how much the denominator (9) goes into the numerator (14) without going over. In this case, 9 can only go into 14 ONCE, because if it goes in twice, that would be more than 14, which is 18. 

So, once you have how many times it can go over, that number is your whole number 1. 

To get the fraction part, simply subtract the numerator (14) from 9 (the denominator times how much times it goes over {1}). And that will be 5. Then put the answer over 9. 5/9

Put the fraction and whole number together, and the mixed number is 1 5/9, which is A.

Hope this helps!

Your answer will be A , because 9goes into 14 1 time . 1 will be your whole number . 14-9 will give you 5 which will be your numerator and 9as your denominator ..
