Question

What is the answer to x/6 = 3 1/2

Answer 1

`(21)/(6)`

Step-by-step explanation:

`(x)/(6) = 3 (1)/(2)`

To make
`3(1)/(2)` into an improper fraction, you have to multiply 3 to the denominator (2) and add that number to the numerator (1).

3 × 2 = 6 + 1 = 7

`3(1)/(2)` =
`(7)/(2)`

Then, you have to multiply 3 to both the numerator and the denominator of the improper fraction to find the answer. The reason why you multiply 3 is because 3 × 2 = 6 in the denominator, which gives us the answer we're looking for.

`(7)/(2)` ×
`(3)/(3)` =
`(7*3)/(2*3)`

=
`(21)/(6)`
