Step 1a

The given fraction is \$8 47/13\$

Explanation: The given fraction is \$8 47/31\$, a mixed fraction, a combining of the whole number and a fractional part.

8 represents the whole part and \$47/13\$ represents the fractional part.

Step 1b

The first step is to multiply the whole number part by the denominator i.e.,8×13=104

Explanation: In this step, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the improper fraction. Here, the whole number is 8, and the denominator is 13.

since, 8×13=104

Step 1c

Add the new product to the numerator. i.e., 104 + 47 =151.

Hence, the improper fraction is \$151/13\$.

Explanation: In this step, add the product to the numerator of the improper fraction i.e., 104 + 47 = 151.

Therefore, the improper fraction is \$151/13\$.

Step 2a

The given fraction is \$15 40/10\$

Explanation: The given fraction is \$15 40/10\$, a mixed fraction, a combining of the whole number and a fractional part.

15 represents the whole part and \$40/10\$ represents the fractional part.

Step 2b

The first step is to multiply the whole number part by the denominator i.e.,15 × 10 = 150

Explanation: In this step, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the improper fraction. Here, the whole number is 15, and the denominator is 10.

since, 15×10=150

Step 2c

Add the new product to the numerator. i.e., 150 + 40 =190.

So, the improper fraction is \$190/10\$.

Explanation: In this step, add the product to the numerator of the improper fraction. i.e., 150 + 40 = 190.

Step 2d

Simplify the improper fraction by dividing the fraction by 10: \$190/10 ÷ 10/10\$ = 19

Therefore, \$15 40/10\$ as a whole number is simply 19.

Explanation: Simplify \$190/10 ÷ 10/10 = 19\$. Therefore, \$15 40/10\$ as a whole number is 19.
