To rewrite \( 9 \frac{1}{3} \) using a root, first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. The whole number part here is 9 and the fractional part is \( \frac{1}{3} \).
- Convert \( 9 \frac{1}{3} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 9 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{27 + 1}{3} = \frac{28}{3} \]
Now that we have \( \frac{28}{3} \), we can look for ways to express this using a root. One approach is to express it in terms of a square root or cube root. For example, you can express \( 28 \) using a square root as follows:
\[ \frac{28}{3} = \frac{4 \cdot 7}{3} = \frac{4 \sqrt{7^2}}{3} = \frac{4 \sqrt{49}}{3} \]
However, this doesn't present a neat root expression.
Alternatively, you could express it in terms of roots in a simpler way such as making use of the square root of \( 28 \):
\[ \frac{28}{3} = \frac{28}{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{28 \sqrt{3}}{3 \sqrt{3}} = \frac{28 \sqrt{3}}{9} \]
This maintains the value of \( 9 \frac{1}{3} \).
Thus, while directly rewriting \( 9 \frac{1}{3} \) using a root is mathematically tricky, you can express its equivalent in forms involving roots.
