Answer 1

To convert the mixed number \(3 \frac{5}{6}\) into an improper fraction, follow these steps:

1. Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (6):
\[
3 \times 6 = 18
\]

2. Add the result to the numerator (5):
\[
18 + 5 = 23
\]

3. Place this sum over the original denominator (6):
\[
\frac{23}{6}
\]

Therefore, \(3 \frac{5}{6}\) written as an improper fraction is \(\frac{23}{6}\).

The correct response is \(23/6\).
