6 2/3 = ?/? -> (3 x 6 + 2)

1 answer

To convert the mixed number \( 6 \frac{2}{3} \) into an improper fraction, we can follow the formula you mentioned: \( \text{(whole number part)} \times \text{(denominator)} + \text{(numerator)} \).

In this case:

  • The whole number part is 6.
  • The numerator is 2.
  • The denominator is 3.

Using the formula:

\[ 3 \times 6 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 \]

This means \( 6 \frac{2}{3} \) can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{20}{3} \]

So, \( 6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3} \).
