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 numerator (5) to that result:
   \(18 + 5 = 23\)

3. Write the result over the original denominator (6):
   \(\frac{23}{6}\)

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

The correct response is: \(23 \frac{6}{6}\) or simply \(\frac{23}{6}\).
