To convert the mixed number 3 67 into a fraction, follow these steps:
1. First, convert the whole number (3) into a fraction. You can do this by expressing it as 3/1.
2. Next, take the numerator of the fractional part (67) and keep it as is. The denominator is typically 1 unless otherwise specified.
3. Now, combine the two parts. To do this, we convert the whole number into a fraction with a common denominator. Since 3 is 3/1, we will express that with a denominator of 1:
- 3 = 3 * 1/1 = 3/1
- 67 = 67/1
4. Now, we can combine the two fractions. When adding fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, we can make the denominators the same (which is 1):
- 3 = 3 * 67/67 = 201/67
5. Finally, add the two fractions together:
201/67 + 67/67 = (201 + 67) / 67 = 268 / 67
Thus, the mixed number 3 67 expressed as a fraction is:
268/67
