To convert the mixed number \(4 \frac{2}{6}\) into an improper fraction, you can follow these steps:

  1. Multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator (6): \(4 \times 6 = 24\)

  2. Add the numerator (2) to the result: \(24 + 2 = 26\)

  3. Place this sum over the original denominator (6): \(\frac{26}{6}\)

So, \(4 \frac{2}{6}\) written as an improper fraction is \(\frac{26}{6}\).

The correct response is: 26/6 (26 sixths)
