Question

78/14 Between which two consecutive whole numbers does this value lie? Enter your numbers in the box

Answer 1

Given number is 78/14.

We have to find two whole numbers between which given number 78/14 lies.

Let's convert that into mixed fraction.

To do that we divide 78 by 14 to find the quotient.

We see that 14 goes 5 times into 78 and leaves remainder of 8.

So we can rewrite 78/14 as
`5(8)/(14)`.

`5(8)/(14)` means little more than 5 but less than 6.

So required two whole numbers are 5 and 6.
