To find: Rational number as a Fraction.

Answer to Problem 52CCR

Fraction of given rational number is $\frac{11}{3}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $3\frac{2}{3}$

  $\begin{array}{l}3\frac{2}{3}=3+\frac{2}{3}\\ \Rightarrow 3\frac{2}{3}=\left(3\times \frac{3}{3}\right)+\frac{2}{3}\\ \Rightarrow 3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{9}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\\ \Rightarrow 3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{9+2}{3}\\ \Rightarrow 3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}\end{array}$

So,

Fraction of given rational number is $\frac{11}{3}$
