What is the simplest form of 125 1/3

Answer 1

To convert the mixed number \(125 \frac{1}{3}\) to its simplest form, follow these steps:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator: \[ 125 \times 3 + 1 = 375 + 1 = 376 \] So, the improper fraction is: \[ \frac{376}{3} \]

2. Check if the fraction can be simplified: Since 376 and 3 have no common factors (376 is not divisible by 3), the fraction \(\frac{376}{3}\) is already in its simplest form.

Therefore, the simplest form of \(125 \frac{1}{3}\) is \(\frac{376}{3}\).
