Write 3 ⅕ as an improper fraction.
Correct Answer
16/5Explanation
To write 3⅕ as an improper fraction, we need to convert the mixed number to a fraction. The whole number 3 can be written as 3/1. Then, we multiply the denominator of the fraction (1) by the whole number (3) and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator (3*1 + 1 = 4). Therefore, 3⅕ can be written as the improper fraction 4/1. Simplifying this further, we get 4/1 = 16/4 = 16/5.Rate this question:

0.0043 as a fraction is
- A.
43/10000
- B.
43/100
- C.
4/3
Correct Answer
A. 43/10000Explanation
To convert a decimal to a fraction, we need to determine the place value of the last digit. In this case, the last digit is in the fourth decimal place, which represents thousandths. Therefore, the fraction will have 4 as the numerator and 10000 as the denominator, resulting in 4/10000. However, the fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 43, resulting in the final answer of 43/10000.Rate this question:
