To convert the mixed number 2 22 into a fraction, we first need to understand what a mixed number is. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. In this case, 2 is the whole number and 22 is the numerator of the fraction.
Here are the steps to convert 2 22 to a fraction:
- First, take the whole number part, which is 2. Convert it to a fraction by multiplying it by the denominator of the fraction part. Since there is no denominator provided with 22, we assume it to be 1. So, 2 can be represented as 2/1.
- Next, we need to express the fraction part, which is 22. As mentioned, assume it has a denominator of 1, so we can write it as 22/1.
- Now, to combine these two fractions, we will convert the whole number fraction to have the same denominator as the fraction part. In this case, we can convert 2 (which is 2/1) into 2/1 = 2/1 * 1/1 = 2/1.
- Now, we combine the two fractions: 2 + 22 = (2 * 1 + 22 * 1) / 1 = (2 + 22) / 1 = 24 / 1.
Therefore, 2 22 is equal to 24/1, which is a whole number. You can simplify it further, but in essence, 2 22 as a fraction is 24.
