Modified by Fishtank Learning, Inc.Ben wrote a mixed number as a fraction $${7{1\over3}}$$. Here is his work:
$$7\frac{1}{3}= 7 + \frac{1}{3}$$ | (Step 1) |
$$=\left(7\times\frac{3}{3}\right)+\frac{1}{3}$$ | (Step 2) |
$$=\frac{21}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$ | (Step 3) |
$${={22\over3}}$$ | (Step 4) |
Explain what Ben did in each step.
