6. Change the mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms:

2 4/3

Explanation

To change a mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms, we need to convert the improper fraction into a proper fraction. In this case, the improper fraction is 4/3. To convert it, we divide the numerator (4) by the denominator (3), which equals 1 and a remainder of 1. Therefore, the proper fraction is 1 1/3. Adding this to the whole number 2, the mixed number in lowest terms is 3 1/3.

Submit
7. Change this improper fraction to a mixed number in lowest terms:

26
 4

Explanation

The given improper fraction, 26/4, can be converted to a mixed number by dividing the numerator (26) by the denominator (4). This division yields a quotient of 6 and a remainder of 2. The quotient becomes the whole number part of the mixed number, while the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part. Since the remainder is 2 and the denominator is 4, the fraction is 2/4, which can be simplified to 1/2. Therefore, the mixed number in lowest terms is 6 1/2.

Submit
8. Change the mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms:

1 15/4

Explanation

To change a mixed number with an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms, we need to divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator. In this case, the numerator is 15 and the denominator is 4. When we divide 15 by 4, we get a quotient of 3 with a remainder of 3. This means that the improper fraction 15/4 is equivalent to the mixed number 3 3/4. However, since the question asks for the answer in lowest terms, we simplify the mixed number to 4 3/4.

9. Change the mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms:

2 5/3

Explanation

To change a mixed number that contains an improper fraction into a mixed number in lowest terms, we need to divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator. In this case, the improper fraction is 5/3. When we divide 5 by 3, we get a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 2. So, the mixed number in lowest terms is 3 2/3.
