Sagot :

Given:

The fractions are:

[tex]\dfrac{6}{5},\dfrac{11}{7},\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex]

To find:

The each fraction as the sum of a whole number and a fraction less than 1.

Solution:

The given fraction is [tex]\dfrac{6}{5}[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{6}{5}=\dfrac{5+1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6}{5}=\dfrac{5}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6}{5}=1+\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the given fraction [tex]\dfrac{6}{5}[/tex] can be written as [tex]1+\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex].

The given fraction is [tex]\dfrac{11}{7}[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{11}{7}=\dfrac{7+4}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{11}{7}=\dfrac{7}{7}+\dfrac{4}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{11}{7}=1+\dfrac{4}{7}[/tex]

Therefore, the given fraction [tex]\dfrac{11}{7}[/tex] can be written as [tex]1+\dfrac{4}{7}[/tex].

The given fraction is [tex]\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{21}{4}=\dfrac{20+1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{21}{4}=\dfrac{20}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{21}{4}=5+\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the given fraction [tex]\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex] can be written as [tex]5+\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].
