Answer 1

To convert the mixed number \(4 \frac{2}{6}\) into an improper fraction, you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the whole number (which is 4) by the denominator (which is 6):
\[
4 \times 6 = 24
\]

2. Add the numerator (which is 2) to this result:
\[
24 + 2 = 26
\]

3. The improper fraction will have this result as the numerator and the original denominator as the denominator:
\[
\frac{26}{6}
\]

So, \(4 \frac{2}{6}\) as an improper fraction is \(\frac{26}{6}\).

The correct response is:
**266**
