5.1 as a mixed number and an improper fraction
Answer:
The answer is \(5\frac{1}{10}\) and \(\frac{51}{10}\).
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to understand that a mixed number is a number represent by an integer and a fractional form, this is:
Integer part: \(5\)
Fractional part: \(0.1=\frac{1}{10}\)
Putting it together we have:
\(5\frac{1}{10}\)
Now for the improper fraction, we have that this kind of fractions represent a number in a fractional form were the numerator is higher than the denominator. For this we can represent the number by to fractions and then add them:
Fractional part 1: \(5=\frac{50}{10}\)
Fractional part 2: \(0.1=\frac{1}{10}\)
Improper fraction: \(\frac{50}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{51}{10}\)
The answer is \(5\frac{1}{10}\) and \(\frac{51}{10}\).
