Express the mixed fraction 4^6/8 into Improper fraction.

• 5 6/8
• 5 3/4
• 38/8

• 5 5/8

Answer explanation

Option C is correct.

_{^{Step 1 - Setup
First, we set up the mixed number 4 6/8 with different colour, so it is easy to follow along:
4.6 / 8}} 

<sub><sup>Step 2 - Multiply
Next, we multiply the whole number by the denominator.
4 x 8 = 32

Step 3 - Add Numerator
Then, we add the numerator to the answer we got in Step 2.
32 + 6 = 38

Step 4 - Solution
Finally, to get the solution, we keep the original denominator and make the numerator the answer from Step 3. Thus, 4 6/8 as an improper fraction is:</sup></sub>

 _^38  /8 .
