Question

Decompose the fraction 7/9 = show work

Answer 1

A fraction can be expressed as the product of a whole number and a unit fraction....
So...

7 * 1/9

`(1)/(9) + (1)/(9) + (1)/(9) + (1)/(9) + (1)/(9) + (1)/(9) + (1)/(9)`

Start with a numerator of 1 and go up to 6.

1.
`(1)/(9) + (6)/(9)`
2.
`(2)/(9) + (5)/(9)`
3.
`(3)/(9) + (4)/(9)`
4.
`(4)/(9) + (3)/(9)`
5.
`(5)/(9) + (2)/(9)`
6.
`(6)/(9) + (1)/(9)`

Hope this helps!

Hey You!

7/9 = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9

7/9 = 1/9 + 6/9

7/9 = 4/9 + 3/9

7/9 = 5/9 + 2/9

That's it! =)
