To convert the mixed number 7 5 into a fraction, we first need to separate the whole number from the fractional part. In this case, 7 is the whole number and 5 is the fraction.
The mixed number can be converted into an improper fraction by using the formula:
Improper Fraction = (Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator
In this case, the denominator is 1 (since the fraction part is simply 5, we can consider it as 5/1). Therefore:
Improper Fraction = (7 × 1) + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12
Now, we express this as a fraction over the denominator, which is 1:
12/1
Thus, 7 5 as a fraction is 12/1 or simply 12.
