To convert the mixed number 23 35 into a fraction, we start by separating the whole number from the proper fraction. The whole number here is 23, and the fraction is 35.
First, recall that a mixed number can be rewritten as:
Whole Number + Fraction = (Whole Number × Denominator + Numerator) / Denominator
In this case, we treat the whole number (23) and the fraction (35) as follows:
- Whole Number = 23
- Fraction = 35/1 (since any integer can be expressed as a fraction by having 1 as the denominator)
Therefore, we can rewrite 23 35 as:
23 + 35/1 = (23 × 1 + 35) / 1
Now, calculate the numerator:
23 × 1 + 35 = 23 + 35 = 58
So we can write:
23 35 = 58 / 1
Thus, the fraction form of 23 35 is simply 58/1. If you prefer, you can also express this as just 58.
