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 result to the numerator (5): \[ 18 + 5 = 23 \]

3. Place this sum over the original denominator (6): \[ \frac{23}{6} \]

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

The correct response is \(23/6\).
