Question

If you roll a 3 and a 4 what are the two different fractions you could make? Express one of the above fractions as a mixed number. Which of the two fractions would you rather use and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$ , $\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 3 and 4

We can make 2 different fractions

first one $\frac{3}{4}$

second one $\frac{4}{3}$

To express a fraction as mixed fraction, it must be greater than one

The second fraction is greater than 1

⇒Mixed form of $\frac{4}{3}= 1\frac{1}{3}$

I would not use a mixed form

A simple fraction form is better to use as all operations such as addition,subtraction,division,multiplication are done in this form.

To do this operations on a Mixed number, we convert it back to simple fraction,

So Simple fraction form is better to be used
