PLEASE HELP ME

Write 3 5/6 feet as a single fraction greater than one.
Then, complete the expression.
3 5/6x12

Answer 1

let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction first.

`\stackrel{mixed}{3(5)/(6)}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 6+5}{6}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{23}{6}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 3(5)/(6)* 12\implies \cfrac{23}{6}* 12\implies \cfrac{23}{6}* \cfrac{12}{1}\implies \cfrac{23}{1}* \cfrac{12}{6}\implies 23* 2\implies \text{\LARGE 46}`
