how can changing improper fractions to mixed numbers help me determine between which two whole numbers a fraction lies

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

By indicating, through the whole number of the mixed fraction,  the lower boundary  in which the fraction lies.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Improper fractions can be expressed as mixed numbers by performing a división of numerator by denominator and expressing the remainder as fraction. Example 6/4  is equal to 1 2/4 or 1.5 that is the number of times 6 can be divided by 4 and the remainder of two expressed as a fraction. The whole number of the mixed number is the lower boundary whole number of 6/4. The upper boundary is this whole number + 1 , in this case 1+1 = 2 . So, by using the mixed fraction we can see that 6/4 is between 1 and 2.  

Answer 2
Answer: So for example 4/2 is a improper fraction. First think how many times can two go into 4 and that is 2 so the answer is two. Let's try 7/4. 4 can go into 7 one time but there is some reminders so u take the remainder and use it as the numerator. Then u keep the same denominator and so the answer is 1 3/4

Dustin and Melanie are playing a game, where two standard, six-sided number cubes are rolled, and the sum of their outcome is found. Each player gets a chance to guess the correct sum, and the player that guesses the correct sum wins. Dustin decides to guess a sum of six. Melanie decides to guess a sum of seven. Which player made the better decision

Answers

Answer:

Melanie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible ways of getting a 6 are (3,3), (2,4), (4,2), (1,5) and (5,1).

That is 5 ways.

The possible ways of getting a 7 are (1,6), (6,1), (5,2),( 2,5), (3, 4), (4,3).

That is 6 ways.

So Melanie made the better decision.
