To convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, we first multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator.
For A: 4&6/7, we have 4 x 7 = 28. Adding the numerator 6, gives us 28 + 6 = 34. So the improper fraction for A is 34/7.
For B: 3&4/7, we have 3 x 7 = 21. Adding the numerator 4, gives us 21 + 4 = 25. So the improper fraction for B is 25/7.
Now we can compare the two fractions:
A: 34/7
B: 25/7
Since the numerators (34 and 25) are not equal, the fractions are not equal.
Classify the pair of fractions as 'equal' or 'not equal' by first converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
a. A: 4&6/7 and B: 3&4/7
