Answer

We use the rule: improper fraction = (natural number×denominator)+numeratordenominator\dfrac{(\text{natural number} \times \text{denominator}) + \text{numerator}}{\text{denominator}}.

(i) 72117\dfrac{2}{11}

7211=7×11+211=77+211=7911.\Rightarrow 7\dfrac{2}{11} = \dfrac{7 \times 11 + 2}{11} \\[1em] = \dfrac{77 + 2}{11} \\[1em] = \dfrac{79}{11}.

Hence, the required fraction is 7211=79117\dfrac{2}{11} = \dfrac{79}{11}.

(ii) 35483\dfrac{5}{48}

3548=3×48+548=144+548=14948.\Rightarrow 3\dfrac{5}{48} = \dfrac{3 \times 48 + 5}{48} \\[1em] = \dfrac{144 + 5}{48} \\[1em] = \dfrac{149}{48}.

Hence, the required fraction is 3548=149483\dfrac{5}{48} = \dfrac{149}{48}.

(iii) 1376413\dfrac{7}{64}

13764=13×64+764=832+764=83964.\Rightarrow 13\dfrac{7}{64} = \dfrac{13 \times 64 + 7}{64} \\[1em] = \dfrac{832 + 7}{64} \\[1em] = \dfrac{839}{64}.

Hence, the required fraction is 13764=8396413\dfrac{7}{64} = \dfrac{839}{64}.

(iv) 7237\dfrac{2}{3}

723=7×3+23=21+23=233.\Rightarrow 7\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{7 \times 3 + 2}{3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{21 + 2}{3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{23}{3}.

Hence, the required fraction is 723=2337\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{23}{3}.
