Question

convert this mixed number to an improper fraction.
$2\frac{2}{9}$
enter the denominator.
$\frac{20}{?}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for converting a mixed number \( a\frac{b}{c} \) to an improper fraction: \( \frac{a \times c + b}{c} \).

For the mixed number \( 2\frac{2}{9} \), \( a = 2 \), \( b = 2 \), \( c = 9 \).

Step2: Apply the formula. Calculate the numerator: \( 2 \times 9 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 \). The denominator remains \( 9 \) (since the denominator of the fractional part of the mixed number is the denominator of the improper fraction).

Answer:

9
